Then on June 5th, just two days later, we confirmed a second positive detection in a 30 day old calf, also located just a few miles away in Zavala County. Yesterday, USD confirmed two additional cases, one in Texas in a calf in La Salle county and another in Leah County, New Mexico, in a dog that we are hearing has been moved up from Mexico. And today, just a couple of hours ago, we had an additional confirmation in a goat in Gillespie County, Texas. These developments obviously represent a serious threat to our livestock and wildlife, but they haven't caught us off guard. (25:00–25:13)
