[DISTRICT5NEWS] RE: Rabid Cow

Swan said Friday that the dairy produced nearly 5,000 gallons of milk from Dec. 4 to Dec. 19. The infected cow's milk was mixed with the milk of up to 70 other healthy cows, therefore diluting any infected milk that could have been present.

How nice of the bureaucracy to use the newsmedia to issue a panic attack before tests, proof, etc.Additional tests are being run to determine whether there was any of the virus in the milk. Before this incident, Swan said, he did not vaccinate his herd for rabies, but he will start doing so this week.

I imagine his vet is acting rabid frothing at the mouth thinking of all that extra income/gravy money for a site visit, mileage, and issuing shots to 70 +/- cows.

I have never heard of a cow getting rabies. Was it bit on the leg? Infected droppings in the feed?______If you are informed you heard it here on District 5 News where 452 goat owners share information and ideas
