Atypical BSE

[Blaithin]

Found in Alberta.

Apparently more info to come tomorrow. So far all I’ve seen is old cow and atypical isn’t a concern as it’s a spontaneous version that just randomly appears.

Can’t imagine prices will skyrocket because of it.

Brazil has been covering this up we are told.

Cheers

Ah fark. Should have dumped the herd and sold the feed. 9 years of unpaid work and misery to follow?

[blackjack]

We as Canadian producers are allowed so many cases over the years …so one would assume it shouldn’t be a big deal.

According to the WEF "you will eat much less meat" . How much you ask? 3lbs a year will be the quota.

Damn, I think I eat 3lbs a week

There is no reason to cover anything up. Last time we suffered through it the end result was nothing once people lost interest in reading about it and seeing that one Holstien cow staggering around on the news.

The Brits ate 200,000 of them and virtualy nobody died.

Anouther government loves it when everyone is scared deal. Maybe they need a replacement right now as most are tiring of the current one.

Media disease. When people don't read the crap anymore it's over

What we have is a "Trudeau Disease" and it is ruining this country. You can't have incompetent people in high paying positions, right from the local level , all the way up to the Federal level.

Just my 2 cents worth.

This will be interesting to see if all the extra costs downloaded to ranchers pay off.

No cow can be sold without a CCIA tag.

Premise ID number .

Trace back should be known by now with a quick run of the tag and the brand.

Neighbors should be informed by now as well.

Otherwise I would say the system isn't working.

I am not blaming anyone but if the system is in place for these cases ...I think ranchers deserve to know what is going on locally.

BSE isn’t infectious so not sure the PID would work to inform neighbours. However it and the CCIA tags seemed to work alright for the TB case. CCIA worked as well for the last BSE case in 2015.

Human diseases only thing allowed on radio these days won't hear a peep.

Does a CCIA tag tell the history of where an animal goes after the farm...which feedlot ...which slaughterhouse?

Off topic but curious.

It’s supposed too. I know at feedlots all animals are scanned at arrival. I believe they also are at auction marts?

I can sign into my CCIA account and it tells me when an animal I had has been terminated or whatever word it uses. I can’t see the trail of where it went from here but I can see it’s been slaughtered or died.

As a small producer how do you handle putting in RFID tags Blaitin?

Can you do a mature bull before shipping?
