[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 884130, member: 12607"] In general, 'farmed' bison and elk should be no more risky than the general population of cattle. In my state, anyone who's involved in captive-breeding/rearing of deer/elk/bison are [b]supposed[b] to have purchased them from licensed breeders, who are required to test for brucellosis/TB prior to selling to another breeder.(Yeah, I know it *might* not happen that way every time.) If I lived in the Yellowstone vicinity, where free-ranging elk & bison, which are known to be infected with brucellosis, might drift onto my premises and comingle with my cows, then, yes, I'd probably be vaccinating my heifers.[/b][/b] [/QUOTE]
