only one herd known to be infected
with the bacterial infection that can
infect humans, cause cows to abort,

infected herds in the state in the early
1950s, 412 in April 1991, or 47 in same
month in 1995.
"Since March 9, we’ve held the line
at one cattle herd iwhich is located
in Live Oak County under quaran
tine." reported Ur Terry Beals,
Texas' state veterinarian am exmi
live director of the Texas Animal
Health Commission, the state live-
stock health regulatory agency,
"Nearly every longtime cattle
rancher in Texas has had a brush
with brucellosis, or knows someone
who lost a herd bee anse of the dis
ease That ugly memory may he out
best ally for final eradication Com
plaeency could be our worst enemy.’’
''Brucellosis eradication in Texas
ain't over, till it's over." void Ur
Beals Forty seven states have al
ready whipped this disease and are
