At Monday night’s meeting of the Yuma County Fairboard, it was decided that, in light of the spread of Rabbit hemorrhagic disease, it was in the best interest of rabbit exhibitors to cancel the Rabbit show for the 2020 Yuma County Fair.
RHD is a very contagious disease that is fatal to both domestic and wild rabbits. Colorado has four counties with wild cases,two counties with domestic cases, and one county with both.
