Another dairy herd in Washington state was placed under quarantine after at least one animal was linked to a Holstein cow infected with mad cow disease, the U.S. Agriculture Department said. The USDA said at least one member of the infected cow’s herd was sent to a dairy facility in Quincy, Wash. “USDA believes that as many as seven animals may have been sent to this facility,” it said in a statement.
The USDA has been investigating the nation’s first case of mad cow disease, discovered Dec. 23 in a Holstein dairy cow in Washington.
