Subject: RE: measles 'sow took the measles'
Tape worm cysts - pig suffering this infection were known as "Measeled" and only detectable on butchering - or thats what me brother says - and he manages a PIg "Factory Farm" nr Oxford UK.

BTW his contract gives him a butchered pig every 6 months, some years ago he'd had his pig, but there was not enough room in his deep freeze. I was deputised to drive over to Oxford to collect the surplus for the rest of the tribe.

On me way back to Wales I was stopped by the Police. ( Well it was in the early hours of the morning)

"Routine Check, Sir, would you mind telling me who you are and the purpose of your journey"

What could I say !!!
