Lead poisoning
Hi all,
Just to update you, as requested, we have had post mortem results confirming lead poisoning. We are as yet unsure of the exact material the cows have ingested that contains the lead but we have been conducting a number of searches on site for possible contaminants. Many thanks to those of you who have been able to give up more of your time to assist with these.
We will be doing some intensive litter picking on Friday 2nd September and Sat 3rd September, to remove as much litter and refuse as possible from key areas of the site. Do get in touch if you would like to help out.
We are waiting on the lab to identify the form in which the lead has been ingested and will keep you all informed as and when we know. it may take several weeks. Meanwhile attempts are still being made to get the last cow and calf off the site but she is not playing the game! We will keep trying.
Many thanks
Vicky
