    BSE - 2 Years Later

    An anniversary today that no one wants to recognize - 2 years after the first announced case.

    I saw a table in an article (Pro Farmer US) that highlights the changes in the industry over the past two years.

    In 2002, Canadian cattle herd totaled 13 mln head. In 2005, Canadian cattle herd totaled 15.1 mln head.

    In 2002, US cattle herd totaled 96.7 mln head. In 2005, the Us herd declined to 95.9 mln head.

    In 2002, Canadian cattle slaughter totaled 3.3 mln head. In 2005, the Canada is expected to slaughter 4.2 mln head.

    In 2002, US cattle slaughter totaled 35.7 mln head. In 2005, the US is expected to slaughter 31.7 mln head.

    In 2002, the US imported more than 1 mln head from Canada. In 2004, the US imported no cattle from Canada.

    Net US imports of beef from Canada in 2002 totaled 850 mln lbs. Net imports of beef from Canada in 2004 amounted to 1,007 mln lbs.

    Will leave for discussion.
