Most other programming involving dairy cows will go on as normal, according to the State Fair.
The Minnesota State Fair says it’s making some changes to its programming due to concerns of H5N1 — or bird flu — in dairy cattle, including excluding them from live birth exhibitions.
The State Fair recently announced changes to some of its livestock shows and exhibitions involving lactating dairy cows, though it noted that most programming will go on as usual.
A State Fair veterinarian will also be on-site to monitor cows showing signs of illness.
Because pregnant cows can’t be tested for H5N1, no live cattle births will take place at the fair’s CHS Miracle of Birth Center this year. But past births may be shown on video screens, and sheep, pig and poultry births will still be observable, according to the announcement.
