Newly obtained cattle should be quarantined until they have been tested for the possibility of disease, an LSU AgCenter veterinarian said at the Seventh Annual Beef Cattle and Forage Field Day at the LSU AgCenter Dean Lee Research Station on Oct. 17. Dr. Christine Navarre said new cattle should be kept separated from an existing herd. “Just a fence is not enough,” she said.
