Excerpt from Special Report of J.D. Hopkins, Territorial Veterinarian, to Gov. Thos. Moonlight, September 12, 1887: With Paper on Glanders and Farcy, Wyoming TerritoryThe mares are generally large draft animals of no pronounced breed, owned by farmers in bunches of from two to six head, and in addition to their usual farm work are expected to carry a foal each year, while the stallions are all thoroughbred Norman Percheron stock imported from France. These stallions are kept by the importers for sale, and advertised to stand for service during the breeding season at prominent towns.This strange disease first attracted attention during the breed ing season of 1885, and as the cool weather approached it seemed to die out, in 1886 it again appeared, and Mr. C. C. Culbertson, an importer of Percheron stallions, having some animals affected with the disease, and many of his neighbors' mares becoming infected through his horses, and other stallions standing in the county, called a number of veterinarians to investigate.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
