• Viral disease infecting thousands of Wisconsin deer found in Waukesha County dairy cows (leadertelegram.com) — A viral disease that has already sickened hundreds of deer in Waukesha County has now been confirmed in local dairy cows, though officials stress it does not infect humans or make meat and milk unsafe. Farmers and deer owners in and around Waukesha are urged to watch for symptoms like lameness, weight loss, and sores, report suspected cases quickly, and tighten parasite control as the outbreak continues.
