According to Reuters and reported by Agweb, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said a second human case of avian bird flu (H5N1) has been confirmed in the United States since the virus was first confirmed in dairy cattle in late March. A Texas dairy worker was confirmed to be infected in April. Michigan and Texas are among nine states to report bird flu in dairy herds.

Similar to the Texas case, the patient in Michigan only reported eye symptoms, the CDC said. The Michigan worker had mild symptoms and recovered, according to the state's Department of Health and Human Services.

The worker had regular exposure to livestock infected with bird flu, Michigan said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said it believes unpasteurized milk is the primary vector for transmitting the virus among cows, though officials do not know exactly how it spreads. 

Torrington, Wyoming had a spectacular run of grass cattle at its sale one week ago.  745 pound black steers brought $311.00 and other drafts were just as good!
