More sheep to undergo mad-cow tests This is going to send lamb prices thru the roof?? Ames, Iowa — A second flock of Vermont sheep suspected of having been exposed to a form of mad-cow disease arrived Saturday at a U.S. Department of Agriculture veterinary laboratory for testing. The 126 East Friesian milking sheep were seized Friday from a farm at East Warren, Vt. The owners, Larry and Linda Faillace, fought to keep their flock, urging officials to first complete tests on a flock of 234 sheep confiscated Wednesday from a farm in Greensboro, Vt. Their request was denied. The U.S. government said some of the sheep may have been exposed to mad-cow disease through contaminated feed before they were imported from Europe in 1996. The Greensboro flock arrived at the lab Thursday. Lab workers began killing the sheep and taking brain samples Friday. Four of those sheep earlier tested positive for transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or TSE, a family of diseases that includes both bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad-cow disease, and scrapie, a common sheep disease that doesn't affect humans. Nearly 100 people in Europe have died of a human form of BSE since 1995 but no cases have been confirmed in the United States.AP Return to top globeandmail.com:/servlet/RTGAMArticleHTMLTemplate/D/20010324/wbrief2403?tf=RT/fullstory.html&cf=RT/config-neutral&slug=wbrief2403&date=20010324&archive=RTGAM&site=Front#mad
