Foot and mouth scare – Farmer Mike Sheldon, whose farm at Great Horwood near Aylesbury is cut off by a five mile total exclusion zone, hopes to find out today whether his pigs have the highly infectious virus foot and mouth disease. The disease was discovered at an Essex abattoir where some of his pigs, together with others from farms around the country, had been sent. <end_snip>

Mike Sheldon – Quite a well known personality within the pork industry and friend/acquaintance of the rich and famous!

Cover up? Maybe! Could be!
