(Associated Press/Omaha.com) -- The AP reports that "bovine tuberculosis has created costly problems for the cattle industry in states where the disease has appeared, but it appears to be a manageable threat."
According to the story, Nebraska and Texas are "investigating positive cases of bovine tuberculosis", but "cattlemen and others say few cases have been confirmed and the disease is proving more of a nuisance than a real threat to their roughly $60 billion industry." Nebraska seeks "to keep its official tuberculosis-free designation to avoid additional testing requirements. It has tested 10,500 cattle since June with no new cases found."
