Hello, Livestock Producers in Franklin County.

Just what we need… a new tick in NC, the Asian Longhorn Tick!

In the safety of your home, take a look at this information of another BAD pest that is coming… It can be a problem with our livestock, etc.

This information will help with basic understanding of the biology of the new tick, the experience in VA over the last several years with the tick and the related cattle disease Theileria, and how to practically prevent outbreaks at the farm level. This information will be of value to anyone that might encounter the tick or that might be asked about it by landowners.
