Enough beef from one animal to feed five states and a territory. That's one humongous holstein.

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.

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

"they have recalled as a precaution an estimated 10,000 pounds of meat from the infected cow That's one hefty heifer."My sentiments exactly. I need to talk to my nephew (he raises the beef we eat in this family)...

The problem with hamburger, it's mixed together with many animals.
And that is why hamburger is so hard to stop ecoli and other bacteria. Too many animals processed together.
Eat steak, your chances of getting some sort of diseased meat is very minimal. Plus any contamination is at the surface of the meat, where it can be first washed off, then cooked off. With ground up meat, it's mixed completely through the meat, from a dozens of differant animals.
