[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1755602, member: 25884"] About 2 months ago we had a seminar put on by several vets and producers because this has gotten to this area also. In fact I think that there are a couple of producers right here in my county that have had cows test positive for it. It seems to have quickly invaded the areas along the I-81 corridor. Once they get over it they are good to go, although one study says the cow can be a carrier; but you can have the abortions and other weakness and refusal to walk. It is going to be one more of a long list of having to try to control this asian longhorn tick along with all the other things we do to slow down and prevent parasites of all kinds on our animals. The general consensus is that insecticide "fly tags" do help to keep the ticks from getting on the animals as much. [/QUOTE]
