When was milk or cream from the rabid cow available for sale at the farm?
Based on the timing of the cow’s illness and the milking and bottling practices at the farm, milk and cream from the rabid cow was available for sale from December 4 through December 19. There is no risk of rabies if you consumed milk or cream purchased during any other time from this farm. Cheese that was available for purchase at the farm during this period was not made from milk from the affected cow and thus is considered safe.
