Theileria orientalis (Ikeda), a protozoan that attacks red blood cells and can cause anemia in cattle, is spreading quickly across Missouri.

Key points:
• First detected in Missouri in June 2023 in Howell County
• Now confirmed in 48 counties as of Oct. 2025
• Spread by the invasive Asian longhorned tick, now present in 23 states

Common signs:
• Mild: fever, depression, pale mucous membranes
• Severe: jaundice, pregnancy loss, weight loss

While overall mortality is typically under 5%, some herds have seen higher losses. There are no approved antibiotics or vaccines in the U.S. and infected cattle remain lifelong carriers.

How producers can respond:
• Watch for symptoms in your herd
• Consult your veterinarian for testing and management
• Reduce tick exposure and sanitize equipment to avoid blood contamination

Turkey Tip #1: Plan Ahead!
This is the first reel in our Turkey Tips series we’re sharing all week to make your upcoming holiday stress-free!

Don’t get caught in a last-minute scramble. Buy your turkey early and give it plenty of time to thaw.

A good rule of thumb? 24 hours in the fridge for every 4–5 pounds.

Did you know? Veterans make a powerful impact on Missouri’s economy.

In 2022, the U.S. Small Business Administration reported that veterans make up just 4.4% of the U.S. labor force but own nearly 5.5% of all U.S. businesses.

Here in Missouri, veterans represent 7% of adults which is higher than the national average and in nearly 22 counties, they make up 10% or more of the population.

Missouri also ranks first among its border states for the share of business revenue generated by veteran-owned businesses and exceeds the national average in both revenue and ownership rates.

Thank you to all the veterans who continue to serve and strengthen our communities through entrepreneurship.
