	The Cost of Brucellosis Prevention: Fencing Stackyards
	Publication #: B-1232 Date Published: 08/31/2012 Publication Author(s): Dannele E. Peck Benjamin S. Rashford John P. Ritten Trent W. Roberts

Description:
In response to a series of recent infections, producers are experimentingwith a growing suite of management tools to reduce the risk of livestock contracting brucellosis. Game-proof fencing of stackyards has the potentialto reduce brucellosis risk by limiting interaction between elk and cattle while protecting stored crops. This interaction often occurs when ranchers stack haynear cattle winter-feeding areas. Keeping hay near feeding areas allows convenient and cost-effective feeding; however, unprotected stackyards often attract elk - luring them into close proximity with cattle.
