South Korean officials have confirmed the presence of foot and mouth disease at a dairy farm this week. It’s the first confirmation in the country in nearly a year. R-CALF CEO Bill Bullard says he has several concerns with this case, including the USDA being unable to predict when countries that have had FMD will have a subsequent case.

He says USDA’s actions and protocol put the U.S. cattle industry at risk.

Bullard says because the FMD was found in a South Korean dairy calf, it means the problem is on-going and has not been eliminated.

South Korean officials say all 195 cows raised on the farm with the confirmed infection have been culled to contain the disease.
