[QUOTE="kenny thomas, post: 1755598, member: 8993"] From my vet. It's been reported here also evidently. Just got a reply from my extension agent saying pretty much the same thing. Yes its here. The last time I spoke with Justin (the state animal health guy that comes to the stockyard in Jonesville) he said the disease has been seen in several of the counties in southwest VA including Lee. They have found the tick that carries the disease and the disease itself in some cattle and sheep. Good tick control is probably the best thing to help prevent it. The hard thing about it is that the tick does not need a male to reproduce and she can lay about 3000 eggs at a time. That many ticks could make a small calf anemic enough to kill the calf without necessarily even transmitting the disease. [/QUOTE]
