The food safety investigation into a case of bovine tuberculosis that was found in an Alberta cow now extends into Saskatchewan.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says two farms in Saskatchewan — but just one infected herd — are under quarantine along with 30 farms in southeastern Alberta.
Chad MacPherson, spokesman for the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association, says it’s not a new instance of the contagious bacterial disease.
He says a ranch in Saskatchewan’s southwest was placed under quarantine based on a trace-out from the farm in Alberta where the infected cow was from.
