THE DAN DONOVAN HERD. INFECTION OF GENESEE COUNTY 



Mr. Donovan brought a drove of cattle east, through Clarence 

 a few days after the Coppy and Grobe herd had passed, and 

 housed them over night in the barn of Bodine, which had been 

 occupied by the Grobe herd so shortly before. Next day he drove 

 them over to his place at Pembroke, Genesee County, where they 

 were found with the healing lesions of the foot, and mouth disease, 

 November 24, 1908, and were killed the following day. The 

 condemned cattle, 10 in number, were appraised at $400. 



As this infection came directly from the Grobe herd, it raises 

 the outlay for indemnity on live stock alone, chargeable to that 

 herd, to $4909. 



the st. joiin's protectory herd, west senega, eeie county 

 About November " 22, 1908, this herd was reported by its 

 veterinary attendant as suffering from epizootic stomatitis, and 

 l)v. J. T. Claris went to see them. The report was such that T 

 speedily followed and found 29 cattle and 40 swine all suffering 

 from foot and mouth disease or so exposed that the infection of 

 every animal was inevitable. About two weeks before, a dealer 

 had sold Father Baker a bull which came straight from the East 

 Buffalo stock yards, with the result that the whole herd had soon 

 developed the disease, and had already passed through the more 

 violent stage. As the conditions were such that infection might 

 easily be transmitted from this herd into others, all possible des- 

 patch was made and the herd was killed November 26. The 

 appraisement for indemnification was $1951.50.
