John,  The source of that particular information was an article in the
Country World Newpaper out of Sulphur Springs,  Texas. The article was
titled "New scrapie rules in effect in  Texas; ear tags or tattoos required
".  Paragraph 12 reads," In  the last 15 months, four infected flocks have
been detected. In three herds, infection was found in flocks outside of
Texas and was traced to animal movement to Texas. The infected flocks were
found in Indiana, Oklahoma and California. The fourth flock was found by
tracing movement out of one of the Texas flocks."  A different article in
the same paper lists the following sources for more detail:
www.animalagriculture.org/scrapie
www.tahc.state.tx.us
Perhaps these will help you with the answers you seek, as the article did
not mention the type of sheep  infected.
