rain, it's my understanding that the only possible feed that could have "contaminated" cattle with BSE is one which was consumed within the first 56 hours of a calves life. That limits it to the very remote possibility of calf creep pellets in cases where it was on offer - typically dairy farms or the more likely culprit which is powdered calf milk. Again the dairy farms are more likely to be feeding this product although occasional an beef calf that has been orphaned is at risk too.
This certainly fits the profile exactly of the farms and cattle that succumbed to BSE in the UK.
