North Dakota reports first anthrax case of 2023
BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota State Veterinarian Ethan Andress says the state’s first reported case of anthrax this year has been confirmed.
The case, in Grant County, was confirmed by the
North Dakota State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.
Andress said the diagnosis is a reminder to livestock producers to protect their animals, especially in areas with past issues with anthrax.
“Producers in past known affected areas and counties should consult with their veterinarians to review their risk factors and vaccination needs,” he said in a statement. “If producers have unusual losses on pasture, they should reach out to their local veterinarian as they are experienced and trained for this type of response.”
The state veterinarian’s office will coordinate with local and state resources to assist producers in dealing with a disease situation.
Anthrax is caused by a spore-forming bacterium called Bacillus anthracis, which can emerge in greater concentrations after rainstorms, flooding, or excavation. Animals are exposed to the disease when they graze or consume forage or water contaminated with the spores.
Effective anthrax vaccines are readily available
, but it takes about a week for immunity to be established, and it must be administered annually for continued protection. Producers should monitor their herds for unexplained deaths and work with their veterinarian to ensure appropriate samples are collected and submitted to a diagnostic lab to give the best chance of obtaining a diagnosis.
“Anthrax has been most frequently reported in northeast, southeast and south-central North Dakota, but it has been found in almost every part of the state,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “A few anthrax cases are reported in North Dakota almost every year. The animals impacted included cattle, bison, horses, sheep, llamas and farmed deer and elk.”
Two cases of anthrax were last reported in North Dakota in 2021
. In 2005, however, more than 500 confirmed deaths from anthrax were reported with total losses estimated at more than 1,000 head.
Minnesota earlier this month reported its first anthrax infections in more than a decade.
The cases, affecting cattle and a horse, were in northwestern Minnesota.

FARGO — On any given day in September, our weather can vary from fairly hot to quite cold. September extremes in the past here in Fargo have an 85-degree range from 102 degrees to 17. October extremes are even wilder, varying 101 degrees, from 97 to 4 below. Even mundane autumn weather patterns in our region will often produce relatively wild temperature swings.
However, one thing is as steady as it is inevitable. The nights grow longer while the days are cut shorter. The amount of daylight decreases by more than three minutes per day this time of year. On Halloween, there is an hour and 45 minutes less daylight than today. The shorter days mean considerably less solar energy is received at the earth’s surface, which leads to colder weather and, eventually, winter. As weather systems blow this way and that, the weather may turn warmer or colder day by day, but the overall trend this time of year will always be toward colder temperatures.
John Wheeler is Chief Meteorologist for WDAY, a position he has had since May of 1985. Wheeler grew up in the South, in Louisiana and Alabama, and cites his family’s move to the Midwest as important to developing his fascination with weather and climate. Wheeler lived in Wisconsin and Iowa as a teenager. He attended Iowa State University and achieved a B.S. degree in Meteorology in 1984. Wheeler worked about a year at WOI-TV in central Iowa before moving to Fargo and WDAY..

HIGHLIGHTS: UND scores Alerus Center record 72 points in homecoming win against Murray St.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (Valley News Live) – The North Dakota Fighting Hawks gave the homecoming crowd a show Saturday afternoon, putting together an explosive and historic performance in a 72-35 victory to open Valley play against Murray St.
The 72 points are the most for a UND team both in the Division I era and in Alerus Center history.
Plus, it is the most points the Flagship U has tallied in a game since Sep. 29, 1928, when North Dakota defeated then-Jamestown College 80-0.
It was back-and-forth early, but Head Coach Bubba Schweigert’s team just kept scoring.
”It just got to be one of those games, our offense really countered,” Schweigert said. “We gave up some big plays, and we were able to come back and hit the big pass to Bo early and run the football.
“72 is pretty odd. This is a different game. I’ve done this a long time, and I’ve never been involved in one like this.”
Next up, North Dakota tries to topple North Dakota State for second season in a row when the two teams tango in the Fargodome Oct. 5 at 2:30 p.m.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
