***Cattle with brucellosis are perfectly safe to eat.

That doesn’t jibe with what I’m reading. ***

Years ago a neighbor’s cattle herd banged out. The cattle were immediately branded with a B on the jaw and SENT TO THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE by agricultural authorities.

Buffalo that wander out of Yellowstone are shot, and are ok to eat even though they also have “Bang’s Disease”. It is the fear of infecting clean herds of cattle that gets them shot.

Bang’s disease..
Brucellosis
Undulant fever...

all the same.

What you are writing does not jibe with what is in this PDF: USDA

Remember, this isn't the usual jagoff argument here. This amounts to health advice you are giving to FReepers.
