Description
Becky Morley begins writing her diary on New Year's Day. By March, her world has changed forever. Foot-and-mouth disease breaks out on a pig farm hundreds of miles away, but soon the nightmare is just a few fields away. The local sheep are infected and every animal is destroyed. Becky's family home in Devon is worried that their own animals will be next. The waiting and hoping for the Morleys' flock to survive is an agonizing experience. Their pedigree dairy herd, including sows with piglets, and Little Josh, a hand-reared lamb, are all at risk of being slaughtered too. Becky's diary entries capture the fear, uncertainty, and desperation that come with facing such a crisis. As the situation unfolds, Becky's diary becomes a record of her hopes, fears, and daily struggles to cope with the devastating consequences of foot-and-mouth disease on their farm.
