It was originally introduced to wild bison by domestic cattle.
I too sympathize with ranchers suffering financial losses, who wouldn't? But BisonGuy is correct, transmission from wildlife to domestic cattle has not been docu mented.
And as far as wolf damage is concerned, the solution is not to eliminate the wolves but to compensate the rancher's losses with public funds.
