Scabies Infestation Threatens Southwest Kansas Cattle
Dr. Frank Flipsie of APHIS reports a severe scabies outbreak across western Kansas with 45,000 to 50,000 cattle dipped recently. In six to seven breaks since late January, two portable vats have treated cattle across 20 locations, including a purebred bull herd. Officials stress source tracking, preventive dipping, and that selling infested cattle is federally punishable.
