Bird flu resurfaces in Idaho dairy herds
Published: May 28, 2026​

Excerpt:
Idaho State Veterinarian Scott Leibsle recently told Capital Press that most infected Idaho dairies have reported asymptomatic cattle, with little obvious impact on production.​ Pasteurized milk remains safe for consumers, and infected cattle may still enter beef processing channels at the end of their productive lives. As of mid-May, Idaho had recorded 130 confirmed dairy cattle infections since the outbreak began.

Idaho had 32 new confirmed cases of bird flu in livestock herds in the most recent 30 days as of June 10, all on dairies, according to USDA.

Between 70 and 80 Idaho dairies were under quarantine as of June 11, “the highest number of affected dairies that we’ve had in a year,” state veterinarian Scott Leibsle said. Last year’s increase started and gained momentum from mid-April to early May.

“When we have a surge in the virus, it seems the cattle are symptomatic for a period of time, they recover, and there’s a period of quiet,” he said. “We think there is some natural immunity built up … they hang onto that for a period.”

Ideally, many dairy cattle rid themselves of bird flu at once and the number of affected dairies drops, Leibsle said. “We’re hopeful that will be the case again as we get to the hot summer months.”
