County must test 2,000 cattle to preserve TB accreditation
County faces loss of its TB accreditation if 2,000 cattle are not tested by mid February. Without accreditation no cattle can be shipped without a TB test and ranchers pay testing costs. Dr. D. C. Bostwick and staff have tested 4,900 of an estimated 69,000 cattle as rules limit dairy animals from counting for the required ten percent.
