State agriculture officials have quarantined a Dane County deer farm and an elk farm in Richland County due to chronic wasting disease. The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection says samples from a whitetail doe and elk cow tested positive for C-W-D. The Dane County deer farm has had 20 deer sampled for C-W-D since 2010 and the Richland County elk farm had 25 elk tested in the past 11 years. C-W-D is a fatal brain disease in deer, elk and moose caused by an infectious protein.
