Livestock producers reminded of anthrax danger.

North Dakota agriculture commission Doug Goehring announced Aug. 12 that "anthrax has been confirmed in a group of cows in a pasture in east Billings County" in North Dakota, marking the state's first reported case of the disease this year. "Producers in past known affected areas and counties should consult with their veterinarians to make sure the vaccination schedule for their animals is current", North Dakota state veterinarian Dr. Susan Keller said.
