Missouri, Georgia Declared
Free Of Tuberculosis
WASHINGTON - The U.S.
Department of Agriculture today
declared Missouri and Georgia the
30th and 31st states to be
recognized free of bovine tuber
culosis.
According to Bert W. Hawkins,
administrator of USDA’s Animal
and Plant Health Inspection
Service, tuberculosis-free
recognition is based on a state’s
remaining free of the disease for a
minimum of five years, and on its
compliance with the uniform
methods and rules of the state
federal cooperative tuberculosis
eradication program.
Cattle from Missouri and
Georgia can now be marketed
more easily, since many
prospective buyers prefer to buy
from states designated free of the
disease.
The last infected animal in a
Missouri herd was confirmed in
March 1978; Missouri herds have
tested negative since then.
Gerogia’s last infected herd was
eliminated in February 1977.

milk with a high fat record of 1,186

The granddam classified 3E-93
with a top record produced as an 11
year old of 28,890 pounds of milk
and 1,022 pounds of fat on a 3X
schedule in 365 days.
Marlin and Kathy Hoff hosted
the traditional beef barbecue for
patrons before the sale. The
auction was managed by Rem
sburg Sale Service of Jefferson.
Hawkins warned against
complacency about bovine TB.
“Tuberculosis will continue to be a
threat to dairy and beef cattle until
the last infected herd in the United
States has been eliminated,” he
said.
Incidence of the disease has been
reduced dramatically since its
peak earlier in this century, but
recent figures show bovine TB
reappearing, with 30 tuberculosis
herds reported in eight states in
1985, the largest number reported
since 1976.
Besides Missouri and Georgia,
bovine tuberculosis accredited
free status has been achieved by
Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Con
necticut, Delaware, Indiana, lowa,
Kansas, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, North Dakota,

Island, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Utah, Vermont,
