This nasty fatal bug is found in beef and beef bones.
Make sure you freeze or cook beef and beef bones before feeding to dogs. It is starting to become a problem. You should lways "pick up" after your dog around cattle.
Loads of articles with more info if you google it.

Re: Neospora cranium in raw beef
you shouldn't feed dogs cooked bones, as they splinter so be careful telling people to cook bones, that they'll feed to their dogs. 
Re: Neospora cranium in raw beef
Not strickly true about cooked bones...briefly cooked are dangerous... but cooked for several hours can be fine as break down to a mush when pressed, similar to the salmon bone inside a tin, or tinned sardines. Chicken and pork ribs go soft like this.
Re: Neospora cranium in raw beef
interesting, i shouldn't pick my dog up among cattle personally nor have one tethered to me on a lead. They can be dangerous to dogs directly and you dont want to be in the middle of it. Luckilly dogs are generally quicker than cows off a lead. Especially true if they have calves at heel- better avoid cows when possible

I think you may mean neospora caninum rather than cranium.......... 
The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail more than his tongue!
