You could be talking about Brucelosis, more commonly known as Bangs.
Possibly lepto also.

Also chlamydia psittca, commonly called foothill abortion disease.

I found a good publication infectious diseases that cause abortions. See below.

Am I missing something here? Ive never heard of cattle getting diseases from deer. Is there really a documented case somewhere that I don't know about?

I know for sure that cattle can get tuberculosis from deer, so it wouldn't surprise me if there were other diseases as well.

Look into "foothills abortion"

Sorry guy's but I'm still not sold on this. I realize TB is airborne and therefore in theory could be transmitted to cattle. I can't find any info of this ever being documented or proven in any way. Just like the Yellowstone buffalo, never proven only theory. If this was true then humans would certainly be able to get it from deer too.
I may be way off base here but I can't find any literature supporting this. Is there a vet on this board that could shed some light on species to species transmission??

Never heard of deer being a problem. Dog's and coyotes transmit a disease called neospora that causes abortion.

This is the article I was reading about tuberculosis and spreading to cattle. How do you get a link to work on this anyway?

To make a hot link, the easiest way is to highlight the URL and then click on the yellow URL button.

there is one disease that they think is spread by cattle sharing standing water that deer urinate or defecate in, but i cant think of the name. i want to say it is Red Water Disease or Lepto.

I had three bull that I was puting in a sale. When I had the BSE done the bulls turned up with Blue Tongue that is spread by deer drinking from the waters. It made the bulls temporary sterile. I had to pull them from the sale. In a couple of months they checked out fine, too late for the sale.

I hate to tell you, but you need to look past TB. Yes it can happen, but so can Johne's. Trust me, I know this from experience.
