Cases of vesicular stomatitis (VS) were confirmed for the first time this year in Routt County, Colo., Weber County, Utah, and Park County, Wyo., prompting the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) to add these counties to the state’s embargoed areas. The embargo prohibits all livestock, including horses, originating in the affected counties from entering the state. In addition, the KDA has removed Valencia County, N.M., from the list.

Kentucky VS embargoed counties:

Colorado: Archuleta, Delta, Dolores, Hinsdale, La Plata, Mesa, Moffat, Montezuma, Montrose, Ouray, and Routt.

Montana: Carbon, Rosebud, Stillwater, and Yellowstone
