Cattle dealers oppose brucellosis proposal in Wisconsin
Syd Matthes of Viola leading western Wisconsin cattle buyers warned the Assembly Agriculture Committee that AB 441 would cost farmers up to 4 million dollars and fail to stop out-of-state cattle entering Wisconsin illegally. He urged harsher penalties and reconsideration of indemnity limits, arguing the state already holds a brucellosis free status and the bill would not solve the issue.
