Wildlife Management: Many Issues Unresolved in Yellowstone Bison-Cattle Brucellosis Conflict

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Oct. 21, 1992
Report No. RCED-93-2
Subject
Summary:

Montana succeeded in eradicating brucellosis from its cattle herds in 1985, allowing Montana ranchers to ship their cattle to other states without first testing them for the disease. Cattlemen are concerned about the possibility that brucellosis, a contagious disease that can cause abortions and infertility in domestic cattle, may be spread from Yellowstone Park's free-roaming bison and elk herds to livestock grazing along the park borders, thereby jeopardizing Montana's ability to freely transport cattle across state lines. Although its policy is not to restrict the movement of the park's bison and elk, the National Park Service has, in an attempt to reduce the risk of brucellosis transmission, killed more than 10,000 bison that have wandered out of the park in recent years. This report provides information on the (1) scientific evidence that brucellosis can be transmitted from bison and elk to domestic cattle, (2) economic damage that might arise from such transmission, and (3) management alternatives for preventing or reducing the likelihood of such transmission.
