The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture let the Wisconsin DNR know that there was a farm-raised deer in Taylor County that tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), which means the county is considered a CWD-affected county.
By Wisconsin state law, the DNR has to enforce a feeding and baiting ban for deer in any county with a positive CWD case, as well as in any county within a ten-mile radius of an animal that tests positive for CWD or tuberculosis.
There has now been a three-year baiting and feeding ban put in place in Taylor County.
