On July 12, 2005, the Minnesota Board of Animal Health in conjunction with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the confirmation of a tuberculosis infected beef cattle herd in Roseau County. This is the first positive herd identified in Minnesota since 1971, when the state was declared free from tuberculosis.
The Board of Animal Health has created an informational page about the investigation surrounding the tuberculosis infected beef cattle herd in Roseau County.
