One More Round

intr3est, I support testing of all OTM cattle if the market calls for it. To test young cattle is a waste of time and money. Can you show me the reference you found to the UK cattle being tested? I'd be interested to see the source.
This could just be a big over-reaction by us all. We can get 11 cases per year and still be classified low risk - this is case #1 of 2005. It may just be coincidence that it happened as close to the other one as it did and not the start of huge numbers of cases appearing - here's hoping I'm right on this one.

grassfarmer, I'll try to find the link again, in the mean time, do you think the buying public will look at year end, or the media reports that keep counting? My guess will be the media reports. My feeling by the media reports tonight is that consumer confidence is starting to waver!

Yous guys are missing the whole issue. The culprits are the CFIA and the feed companies that they were not monitoring. There is a simple solution, start putting those responsible, both bueaucrat and feed people in jail.The system has only made the producer acountable,nobody else.

YEP, you're right, so how do we change that? How do you go about putting the lawmakers in jail? This is seen as a rural problem, last I checked that was 2% of the voting pop. So, we have to bring notice to what the government has done in this situation. Kinda like the sponsor scandal, and then everybody will vote against the party in fault! or, we can continue to show the facts of how it will lose them money in tax dollars, from lost income or lost sales! I think this might get noticed more!

WE have lost now close to 5 billion and yet they are still ho hum in getting down to the root of the problem. What's it going to take 5 years and 20 billion.
