The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture has confirmed that two white-tailed deer at a Waukesha County farm have tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease.
State animal health officials say both animals were three-year-old bucks.
The nine-acre farm had been under quarantine since November 2021 after white-tailed deer moved from its herd tested positive at an Eau Claire County ranch. It will remain under quarantine while DATCP and the USDA veterinarians and staff conduct the epidemiological investigation.
DATCP regulates deer farms for registration, recordkeeping, disease testing, movement, and permit requirements.
