Charges were stayed today against Montana Jones and Michael Schmidt, two farmers charged with criminal conspiracy and other offences in December, 2012 following the disappearance of Jones’s sheep from her Hastings, Ontario farm.
Jones's farm was quarantined and her sheep were given live biopsies, but the biopsies showed the rare Shropshire sheep in her flock to be free of disease.
Nevertheless, the CFIA issued a destruction order for 31 sheep with rare genetics, to be carried out in April, 2012. The targeted sheep disappeared from Jones's farm the night before the CFIA arrived to slaughter them.
