Attention All Livestock Owners:
This notice is issued to provide further clarification regarding the ongoing livestock quarantine in Pastures 7A and 7B, Siksika Nation.

- Livestock within the quarantined pastures are being actively monitored and treated by appropriate personnel.
- No movement of livestock is permitted into or out of Pastures 7A and 7B for the duration of the quarantine.
