Wyoming Brucellosis-Free

<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2006/09/12/news/wyoming/43-cattle.txt" >Wyoming regains brucellosis-free status</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>The federal government declared Wyoming's cattle herds free of brucellosis, meaning costly restrictions placed on the state's producers over the last 2 1/2 years can now be eased, state officials said Tuesday.<br />n<br />nThe decision by the U.S. Agriculture Department to declare the state brucellosis-free will be official in the next several days when it is published in the Federal Register, according to Gov. Dave Freduenthal's office.</blockquote><br />n<br />nIt's about time. Good deal for Wyoming cattle producers. The root cause of this problem has not been eliminated yet for Wyoming. State controlled elk feed grounds. Until these are closed the threat will remain for Wyoming cattle producers.<br />n<br />n<strong>We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror.
