Another U.S. herd quarantined

Jan. 3, 2004. 06:59 PM

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP-CP) — Another farm has been quarantined after authorities located a cow from the same herd as a Holstein stricken with mad cow disease.

And with dozens of cattle from the same herd still missing, more U.S. farms may be isolated in days to come.

At least some cows quarantined since the discovery last month of the Holstein will be destroyed, either because of possible exposure to the infection or to quell public fear, Dr. Ron DeHaven, the Agriculture Department's chief veterinarian, said Friday

Another nine cows and a calf born last month to the sick cow are on the Mabton, Wash., dairy farm that was the Holstein's final home. Another calf is on a farm at Sunnyside, Wash., also near Yakima, that raises bull calves.



And the list increases -

makes one wonder how many farms are REALLY affected ?
