I think what is meant is that meat from the infected cow may have been mixed in with the meat of many other cows; such as the way McDonald's produces their hamburger patties, in huge mixing vats. Read Fast Food Nation.

I think there should be grades for the downers. Meat that is suspected of being contaminated with MCD shouldn't be fed to even dogs or cats. Like another poster said: burn it.

The procedure for slaughtering animals is to cut their carcasses in half with something close to a chainsaw. They just go down the line and cut them in two. [...] I would not be so worried about the brains or the lower intestines, those things would have only a few homes, but it's the spinal cord that I worry about. If they cut the animal in half with a chainsaw, then enters the possibility of spinal-cord material getting on the chainsaw and being splattered all over the carcass

That's one hefty heifer. Am I confused here. I read the report that the Canadian? holstien was 61/2 years old. That the cow was a heifer. Heifer= cow that has not yet had a calf. 6 1/2 years ago I beleive there was no ban on feeding cattle ground up animal waste. Mostly produced and imported to Canada from the US.If this was a holstien milk cow 6 1/2 years old and has been slaughtered and sold as beef there really is something wrong. Help me out here. Regards

So, Canadians last May used a cow with mad cow disease for American dog food. I beleive this is misstated. The cow found last May in Alberta was destroyed and burned, along with 1000's of head of cattle that were tested and found to be not infected.The American border is still closed to live Alberta beef and it has ruined the cattle industry here.
I heard today the Canadian Govt. was not going to panic and close the border until there was something more substantial to go on.

Chicken looks better everyday Visit parts of the Delmar pennisula. :-(

This cow went Down only after calving and was well enough to breed at considerable expense to the dairy. If she was sick she would never have been allowed to calve...

One of her calves was a bull which has been located and I believe she had 2 still births that may have been twin ?

Is organic or corn-fed beef likely to be safer (although highly expensive)? Buying from a farm where no meat products go into the food, and where killing does not involve the stun machine, which is known to push brain parts into the muscles, would be safer.
Yes; or, you might stick with grass-fed cattle. You know, grass, that stuff that cows are actually designed to eat? This problem started when "corporate" farms started feeding cows other cows, sheep offal, ground chicken, etc.
To: Yaelle
... this cow was a dairy cow and only went to the slaughterhouse and thus into our food supply BECAUSE she was so sick she could no longer stand up. Dairy cow? That means she's been contributing to the food supply for all of her productive life. (I don't know that you can catch Mad Cow through milk but there are diseases that can be spread by it, like tuberculosis. )
To: nmh
Look, there are 60 million people in England, and 20 have died from a disease that nobody has proven has any link to Mad-Cow over the last 20 years. To suggest that this is a big crisis is ridiculous. I ate a steak today, and I'll eat one tomorrow.
