Hi Amy,

	In my experience, whether processing amphibine, reptiline, or
mammaline (including primatine (including humine), lagormorphine, rodentine,
porcine, elephantine or whaline) tissues, the procedures only varied as a
consequence of known pathology (sp., pathogines).  As you can see I have
steer'd clear of bovines, because I never permitted myself to be cowed into
working with such bull.  Actually, however, someone snuck (sneaked?) some
bovide tissue into a run years ago and I didn't know the difference until
after I had included the results in my rodentide report.  
	My advice is to steer clear of any procedural modification that sets
the bovid apart from the same processing used on other mammalids (including
humids).

Best regards and good luck on your boars.  I'll soon be taking the bore'ds
in Advanced English with a concentration in phonetic consistency as soon as
I save sufficient funds.  

Fred Monson - someone tell me it's not close to Friday!
