You certainly would not class the area a hotspot as other parts of the country are but there are areas the hunt covers that it's fast becoming so , this hunt is now made up of 3 hunts so covers a massive area.What will be even more interesting is if the spoliotype of TB in hounds is not one which has been found locally in cattle. I thought that the area the Kimblewick hunt was outside the main TB area but am happy to be corrected.
the badger lovers are going to make hay of it
