Wyoming and USDA APHIS veterinarians are testing cattle that may have been exposed to tuberculosis. The exposure came from 86 heifers bought from a South Dakota herd, where TB was found through slaughter surveillance.
The animals were moved to Wyoming before the infection was found.
A TB investigation can lead to herd testing, movement restrictions, and trade concerns, but the case is limited to a small number of animals and has no clear price impact.
