Daniel herd to be depopulated
Wyoming may have second case of brucellosis
by Cat Urbigkit
September 5, 2008

Wyoming State Veterinarian Dr. Walt Cook said this afternoon that the Daniel-area cattle producer with the brucellosis-infected herd has decided to allow his herd to be "depopulated" which means be sent to slaughter.

Making such a decision is heart-wrenching for a cattleman who has worked for years to develop his breeding cattle herd.

In the end, the decision to depopulate this herd may not be enough to save Wyoming from having its brucellosis-free market status downgraded. Cook also shared the disappointing news that "We are also aware of a possible traceback to a second herd (not associated with the first as far as we know) in Sublette County."

Cook added, "This HAS NOT been confirmed yet but looks probable."
