:29:01
We're going to have
to take some samples.
:29:03
Bring in a few healthy calves
:29:04
and a couple of
horses from outside,
:29:05
infect them artificially,
:29:06
and then...
:29:07
just wait and see what happens.
:29:09
I'll tell you what'll happen--
:29:10
they turn up sick,
you kill them.
:29:11
That's right, isn't it, mister?
:29:12
If the calves turn up sick
and the horses don't,
:29:14
it's foot-and-mouth--
you got to.
:29:18
The last bad outbreak
in the United States,
:29:19
the government had to kill
over 77,000 head of cattle,
:29:23
plus that many sheep and goats.
:29:24
Even 20,000 deer.
:29:27
It's a terrible thing.
:29:29
I just bought me 20 head
of Mexican cows down South.
:29:33
Could they be the bad ones?
:29:35
Uh, could be.
:29:37
If there were, you're going
to have to get rid
:29:38
of every cow that's been
in contact with them.
:29:43
Well, you're talking about
all the animals I own.
:29:47
I know I am.
:29:50
I hope I'm wrong.
:29:51
I hope it turns out
to be something else,
:29:54
so we won't ever have
to talk about it again.
:30:02
Looks like I landed in
the wrong place again.
:30:07
Uh, you guys get on.
There's some fence to fix.
:30:24
Yeah, how 'bout that?
:30:30
You going to let them
shoot your cows
:30:31
out from underneath you
:30:32
on account of a
schoolbook disease?
:30:35
You getting that old, Homer?
:30:37
I wonder if a long quarantine
wouldn't satisfy him.
:30:42
You think they'd agree to that?
:30:43
Yeah, they don't have
to agree to nothing--
:30:45
they're the law.
:30:46
You can agree with them
till hell freezes over
:30:48
for all the good
it'll do you.
:30:50
Yeah, but that Mr. Burris
seemed like a reasonable man.
:30:55
You think they'd come in here
and liquidate?
:30:58
Hell, yeah, they'll liquidate,
you got what they say you got.
