Blue tongue worries Alberta cattlemen reach to 12 lines
A mild cattle disease detected in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia has Alberta cattlemen worried. If Alberta sees the disease it could devastate the industry for at least a year, says Medicine Hat MP Bert Hargrave. The blue tongue outbreak, carried by a fly from the south, is deadly to sheep though cattle are largely unaffected. The quarantine affects 2,500 to 3,000 square miles and more than 20,000 cattle, prompting embargoes on Canadian cattle and semen exports by Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, impacting Alberta's purebred trade.
