The first case of anthrax for the year in North Dakota has been confirmed. State Veterinarian Dr. Ethan Andress says this is a reminder to vaccinate your cattle against the disease.

Andress urges ranchers to reach out to their local veterinarian to discuss vaccination options and if they come upon any unusual losses on pasture.
