In its war against bovine tuberculosis, the state's major battles are being waged in a four-county area. But it is increasingly apparent that the dead- ly lung disease is confined almost entirely within the northeastern Lower Peninsula. Bob Bender is the coordinator of the eradication program. Bender announced last week that bovine TB had been confirmed within two beef cattle operations in Alpena County. Cases of bovine TB have been found in 12 counties.
