America’s top 34 beef producing counties have been released from Drovers Journal.

The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) reported the first commercial outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Minnesota in 2024.

The report, which was listed last week, said the outbreak occurred on a turkey farm in Meeker County, and resulted in 70,000 birds culled.

This was the first commercial outbreak in Minnesota since December.

Last month, the state reported a baby goat tested positive for avian flu from a quarantined poultry flock.  

Michigan and New Mexico have reported cases as well. 

An estimated 88.17 million birds have been affected in a total of 1,122 flocks in 48 states so far, according to APHIS even as the pace of confirmed outbreaks continues to slow down.  Bovine officials are watching this very closely in light of the earlier initial case in cattle that was detected in Texas approximately 1 month ago..
