Texas, Idaho and Wisconsin are 3 of the top 5 dairy producing states and 
they refuse to join in the current USDA testing program for the dairy 
virus.  Wisconsin has had multiple poultry farms go down and one poultry 
worker infected, but they have never wanted to test their dairy herds. 
Texas is likely on their second round of infections in their dairy 
herds, and Idaho is known to have infected herds (two positive herds 
were identified due to California herd contacts).  The virus has likely 
pretty much gone through most of the herds in these states by now, but 
they just do not test.  This should not be allowed.  The current USDA 
program is "voluntary" and we all know how effective the dairy voluntary 
programs have been since the start of the infection.

California is claiming that 281 of the infected herds have cleared the 
virus (745 total infected herds).  That likely means that the infection 
in Texas in Dec. was part of a second round with probably all the herds 
in Texas having been infected and cleared the virus months before the 
Dec infection.  If the USDA was doing the epidemiology studies that they 
should be doing weekly we would not be guessing about the progress of 
the dairy epidemic.
