All the dead cows were found on a Logan County ranch.
The ranch has been quarantined, and the Colorado Department of Agriculture has little worry about it spreading to others.
Health officials are a little worried that some humans may have come into contact with the herd, as it is possible for them to become infected.
It's been thirty-one years since there was an anthrax outbreak in Colorado.
Anthrax can develop on it's own, during drought times, so many states in the US are on the lookout for it, due to the worst drought in decades.
The infection can be treated with antibiotics, if caught during the early stages.
