Hmmm,  I heard today the a herd of 150 cows had to killed because of TB here in
Holland.   They were from an organic farm and had not received any
innoculations.
Because they are in contact with eachother it had spread very rapidly.
I can buy beef or lamb from a 'green' butcher and it will be free of disease but
it is the most expensive you can think of.  So now the dilemma is paying through
your nose or having meat that is full of antibiotics.

How did others solve this problem?
Hunting for my own meat is not possible here.  Any suggestions?
