Transporting Cattle from Geor-
gis to Florida
o. A. s., Sycamore, Ca,
writes: I am planning to move
to Florida and I would like to
take with me an exceptionally
good Jersey COW, but have been
advised that to take a cow
which is tick free into county
infested with ticks is very dan
| gerous. I would like your adj
vice in this matter, and would
like to know of any precautions
which it will be necessary for me
to take.
There is no reason why you should
| not take a good Jersey COW to Florl-
| da, even into tick-infested territory,
| provided she is unloaded on ground
| which is absolutely free from ticks
| and kept in a yard, stable or pas
| ture in which cattle have not been
| maintained for several seasons. If
ticks get on, this animal she will GER
| tainly come down with what is
known as Texas fever, and the
| chances are that she will die. 1t
| will not take a large tick infesta-
Ftion to bring about this result. One
| tick may be responsible for the
! death of a cow. I state these facts
| to let you see how very important
| it is to keep ticks off of such an
animal. 1t is evident that you must
exercise great care along this line.
On the other hand, when we start
| ed this institution all our land was
| ticll-infested, yet we brought IN rep
resentatiVes of the leading breeds
4 of live stock from various parts OF
1.-THE country. By combining them to
| wards that were free from ticks,
and in pastures where cattle had
| not been grazed for at leased TWO
| years we were able 10 MAINTAIN
| them successfully.
| Personally I would not hesitate to
| take a COW to Florida if possessed
of the information we are conveying
| to you. There are, of course. regula-
| tons governing the movement OF
cattle in Georgia. however, which
are in charge of the office of the
state veterinarian, Atlanta, Ga, and
you will probably have to have your
4 cow tested for tuberculosis and Sc
cure a certificate from the Florida
| state veterinarian whom l presume
y is located at Tallahassee.
