NSW anthrax outbreak spreads - horse dies

An anthrax outbreak in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales has claimed more than 30 head of cattle and a horse, and appears to be getting worse.
Three more deaths were reported over the weekend, with the outbreak now spreading to nine properties.
All have been locked down for 41 days.
The Department of Primary Industries does expect the number of deaths to stabilise, with many local cattle now vaccinated.
Keith Miles has lost 22 cattle, and is hoping the vaccinations kick in soon.
"We're just hoping to stem the deaths," he says.
"To go out this morning and find another three head dead and they have to be burned, and that's the hard part of this, you spend your time vaccinating and then you go out the rest of the day burning carcasses and it's not just a matter of going out and setting fire to it, it takes about three days of burning because you have to get rid of the bones to ash".
