Through close, whole herd testing, Montana's cattle producers have been able to maintain a Brucellosis Class Free Status as a state. This successful program was instituted in 2010 for this exact purpose, and a very good outcome for the Montana Department of Livestock in active cooperation with industry producers throughout the state.
Although currently under quarantine, the herd involved with the positive of a single animal is otherwise brucellosis-free as determined by negative testing results of the other animals.
