U.S. Finds BSE Positive Cow

[cowman]

The only good thing that might come out of this is that some American ranchers might finally wake up and smell the coffee? Apparently not the R-CALF leadership, according to the quote from farmers son!
But then I'm not talking about the died in the wool R-CALFer but the little guy who has listened and believed their drivel!
Otherwise this is not a good thing for anyone? It brings into question the honesty of the USDA and that is not good?
However if this cow tests positive hopefully America will work with us on getting this North American BSE problem cleared up and return our cattle herd to what it was...a safe healthy product that can be eaten with confidence that it is BSE free.

Grassfarmer: I hear what you are saying and you are correct. But it is surely better than if Canada had found another BSE.

keep in mind the americans will do what the americans have done all along - they'll do what's good for them and if they can sideswipe someone else in the process, all the better.
