The Michigan Department Natural Resources says chronic wasting disease has been confirmed at a Mecosta County deer farm.

CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk and moose.

This is the second time the disease has been found in a farmed deer facility in Michigan.

In 2008, a white-tailed deer from a Kent County deer farm tested positive.

The affected farm has been quarantined and all other deer farms in a 15-mile radius will undergo a records audit, fence inspection, and increased surveillance testing.

An informational meeting for deer farmers is scheduled at the Big Rapids Holiday Inn on Wednesday, February 1 at 7 p.m.
