Fidgety 8 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Do deer suffer from/carry/transmit bovine tuberculosis?? If so, is this a good reason to cull in areas of cattle? Quote Link to post
paddy31 120 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I know that some fallow down my way are carriers of T.B because we get them check by the vet from time to time. One farm where we shoot came down with T.B in a heard of cattle and it was put down to the deer.. Quote Link to post
Guest foxyjo. Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yes, they do. A friend of mine caught TB from culling the deer though....so be careful!!!! Quote Link to post
