Two Wyoming herds test negative for brucellosisCHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP)--The Wyoming state veterinarian says testing detected no brucellosis cases in two cattle herds that had contact with a western Wyoming herd infected with the disease. State Veterinarian Walter Cook said the July 10 results showed the two herds near Cora in Sublette County to be free of the disease, which can cause pregnant cows to abort their calves. Wyoming and federal livestock officials are trying to determine the extent of a brucellosis infection detected last month in a Daniel-area cattle herd. Assistant state veterinarian Jim Logan says the results July 10 cover two of 13 herds that had contact with the infected herd. Cook says the federal government has extended the state's 60-day deadline to test the 13 herds. Investigators now have until the end of October, which allows them to test the herds after they're rounded up from their summer ranges. 7/21/08 Date: 7/16/08
