The thing that I hate is that I love a good STEAK

The suspect animal was a down dairy cow. No chance that any steak you would ever eat would come from that animal. The carcass was probably sold for rendering rather than human consumption.

Nonsense. The "muscle cuts" are being traced. The "non-ambulatory" Holstein was slaughtered Dec 9. Moreover, there is no reason to think that other Holsteins (or just about any cattle) were not exposed to the same source.
