The notion that FMD originated at Bobby Waugh's farm is TOTAL NONESENSE.

Every indication is that FMD had been around for some months reached Bobby Waugh's place in bones and offal he obtained from Cheale Meats to feed to his pigs.

Large quantities of larger bones that the pigs were unable to consume were being burned and it was the stench from burning bones that had caused Waugh's place to be monitored by Morpeth Environmental Health since July 2000.

If you remember Bobby was adamant FMD hadn't come from the Chinese restaurant, presumably because he knew full well where it had come from.
