Bovine Tuberculosis Found on 2nd Southwestern Michigan Farm

State officials say they've discovered a second cattle herd in southwestern Michigan infected with bovine tuberculosis. The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development announced last week the potentially fatal disease had shown up on a farm in Ottawa County.
