After the steer was removed, it tested positive for bovine TB, the statement said.
State agriculture officials identified the farm in Huron County that sent the steer to slaughter, along with two prior farms in Presque Isle County where the animal had been kept.
Each farm will be tested to ensure the disease is not present, the statement said...
