Box Elder County has declared a state of emergency after over half of the county’s dairy cows have been impacted by bird flu.

In a Thursday announcement, the county reported that at least 50% of its dairy cows have been “impacted” by the highly pathogenic avian influenza — commonly referred to as bird flu — and farmers are seeing severe losses to their milk production. The county did not immediately specify what “impacted” meant.

Through declaring a state of emergency, the county said it is able to coordinate with state and federal partners for help responding to the situation. Box Elder County first found bird flu in a local milk sample sometime around June 25, according to the news release.

Though the county said the public doesn’t face any threat from consuming pasteurized dairy products, it warned people to avoid raw milk “as it may contain HPAI for several weeks when stored in the refrigerator.”

Each category offers the same cash prizes with $1,000 given for the longest python caught in that group, the most pythons runner-up is awarded with $1,500 and $2,500 goes to the person in that category with the most pythons.

A whopping $10,000 grand prize is “awarded to the participant who removes the most pythons as part of the competition,” the website states.

Participants in the competition can only win one prize, if eligible for more than one, they will automatically get the highest-value prize.

All prizes are given by the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida.
