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.

Anthrax is a disease that is devastating to all livestock. It can kill many animals in a short period of time. Anthrax can survive indefinitely in soil and infect livestock in the future.
