BARABOO, Wis. -- A 10-year-old doe at a Sauk County deer farm has tested positive for chronic wasting disease, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection said Tuesday.
In a news release, the department said the 22-acre farm where the doe was located has since been placed under quarantine following the positive test. Officials from DATCP and the U.S. Department of Agriculture will now conduct an epidemiological investigation into the case.
The release did not name the farm in question or say when the positive test was confirmed.
CWD is a deadly disease that affects deer, elk and moose.
