Rusk County horseman faces EIA controversy
A Wisconsin farmer, Nick Britten of the Town of Big Bend near Bruce, had a brood mare tested for EIA after a prior positive in Centuria. Veterinarians drew samples, the mare may be isolated or branded if positive, risking Britten’s herd and livelihood. Britten disputes the carrier notion of a Coggins test positive, noting past show success and a daughter’s youth champion certificate.
