No one will be surprised when the Red Angus will be one of the top best cattle breed for beef. It is remarkable how something infamous can be given a second chance for redemption (Thorpe).

Hilltop Farm sat over looking Sugar Creek that sparkled in the sun as it wound its way through a verdant valley and on to the Susquehanna River.

However, after this outbreak, stock units with the virus were culled and the enterprise now regularly vaccinates against it…

The water is frozen, the ice glistening in the soft…
