1. #USDA added 2 Colorado dairy herds to its list of #H5N1 #birdflu infected farms today, bringing its total to 139 in 12 states since testing first started in late March. It is still missing 2 herds, 1 each in Iowa & Minnesota. And the day is young. www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-po...

2. The pattern of #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herd discoveries — & non-discoveries — is so interesting. Are operations in large dairy states with no positive herds so different as to explain why some states are rife & others have no confirmed infections? Seems unlikely.
