Date:

Once in a great while various animals are detected to have contracted rabies throughout different areas in the state of Montana. We’ve seen cows, bats, skunks, and other varmints which have come down with the disease and when it occurs quarantining of domestic animals is likely to occur.

BROADUS, Mont. –
