We now know the origin of the dairy cow that tested positive for mad cow disease.
On Wednesday, a spokesperson for Congressman Devin Nunes says the lawmaker was briefed by an official with the US Department of Agriculture, who says the cow originated in Tulare County.
Meanwhile, industry leaders here in the Valley say there is no reason to panic.
They are advising people to continue to drink milk and eat beef products just like you have always done.
The US Department of Agriculture confirmed Tuesday that the cow had a rare "atypical" form of the disease, which means it did not get it by eating infected cattle feed.
