Ok so many States are having problems with Chronic Wasting Disease in Deer and Elk. Just wondering if Goats get this? I don't know why they wouldn't.

Goats and sheep get a different form than deer and elk. It's called scrapie.

According to your link to Wikipedia, CWD has only been found naturally in members of the deer family. It has never been verified in any other animals including humans which have a different form again. Martin |

You're correct.
My mistake!

My longtime hunting area was almost in the center of the first CWD outbreak in Wisconsin. If there's anything that locals don't know about CWD, it hasn't been reported yet! Ticked me off since we were deprived of neck roasts from any antlerless deer. Necks and heads were collected for testing. The few positive examples weren't worth the expense of testing every single deer. That was especially so since it was determined that it was a zero danger to humans.

Martin Did you have to turn in your Neck and Heads? Just asking because we Debone ours in the woods.

During the initial CWD outbreak, there was no choice. When the deer were taken to a registration station, the entire head and neck were cut off just ahead of the shoulders. That was sent to a lab to determine if CWD was present. Additional tag with speciman number was attached to the carcass. Took at least a month for results to come back.

Martin What really bothers me on this is the fact it has no ill effects on Humans. And if a person debones their meat it wouldn't show up. Seems it is a New Disease at least in the Lab and probably has been around for years. And crazy to me Wildlife Agencies first thing most of them do is Kill and Test every Deer and Elk before they die naturally.

CWD has been around for many years having first been recognized in 1967. It was only found in Western states. How it got established in Wisconsin is unknown but theory is a hunter bringing home an infected elk or mule deer and discarding the bones in the woods.
