Officials Confirm Anthrax in South Dakota Cattle Herd

By Evan Walton

The South Dakota Animal Industry Board is confirming an outbreak of anthrax in a beef herd in Meade County.

This is the first confirmed report of the disease in the state in 2024. The board is quarantining the herd, notifying neighbors, and plans to quarantine any additional herds impacted.

Also, Gimpy and his buddy went to The Misfit Farm where they will reside in a more suitable environment with lots of care.
