ONE MORE TB-INFECTED HERD

The Minnesota Board of Animal Health announced yesterday that one more beef cattle herd in Roseau County has tested positive for tuberculosis. This is the ninth herd confirmed for TB. The USDA has begun to put a value on the cows. The agency then pays the farmer and the herd is put down. Testing continues statewide in nearly 1600 cattle herds in other parts of the state. So far, all of them have tested negative.
