Update on NWS from Zack and the team at EBS

Howdy everyone!
I wanted to take some time and inform all of our family, friends, clients, supporters and others how we are dealing with the threat of the NWS.
Most importantly, our dedication to a clean facility and biosecurity remains not only intact, but even more heightened than before.
We have been working diligently to gather information over the last 6-8 months to properly prepare for the challenges headed our way.
Together, with the guidance of our center Veterinarian and countless other reputable sources, we have accrued substantial doses of injectables, topicals and fly treatment systems.
It has always been one of our primary goals to ensure the health and safety of every animal on our premises, and we will not waiver from that.
Currently, though there are no reported cases in our "immediate" area, I am electing to enact measures of extensive cattle monitoring immediately.
Our commitment will now include a visual evaluation of ALL animals, no less than two times per day.
ALL animals will be THOROUGHLY inspected 2-3 times per week.
ANY concern of the existence of NWS in an animal on our property will immediately prompt a phone call to the owner/s or agent/s, followed by a call to our center Vet, which will then be reported to USDA, TAHC, and all other agencies that need to or will be subsequently informed.
Treatment options will be recommended and administered, with all crucial information recorded.
Thankfully, this is something that is easily treated, and should have minimal impact on your animal should they fall victim to the NWS.

I kindly ask for patience as we all continue to battle this incursion.
New information and cases are being reported regularly, which presents a ton of information to read through and digest, allowing us to elect the highest and safest measures for our clients and their beloved animals.

I have always been transparent to clients and customers in regard to global events affecting our industry, animal health and consulting...THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE.

If you have specific questions regarding your animal under my care, please do not hesitate to call me. I proudly work for all of you, and will stand with my team on the front line of this mess, fighting to ensure your continued trust in my team, myself, and Elgin Breeding Service.

Thank you all,

Zack and the EBS Team
