“I have been talking with officials in Washington, and I have been assured that the industry and the department were going to work together this year. Now they [the USDA VMOs] have come into the sale checking for the scar rule, before we have even had a clinic where we could all get on the same page. I’ve told the trainers that we are going to try to work together, and this undermines my credibility with them. I am just disappointed that they have jumped the gun,” said Groover.
