I've been in meetings concerning this latest outbreak, and was told that it could become an epidemic.
I'll be in on mandatory conference calls everyday at 1500 hours, to be updated by the State health board.
Mandi, I asked our ag teacher about Wilbur, and he said not to worry, but a standard round of shots given to show hogs will be protective.
Now, this is in our case, Wilbur is in no contact with any other swine species, and is at ZERO risk of coming in contact with one (no hogs anywhere close).

The wild hog population was brought up at most of these meetings, and I forget the exact numbers, but it was less than 3% population affected.
