why would they deliberately feed fire retardant to cattle?

did they have a problem with spontaneous cattle combustion?

I misswrote on the Talapia. It wasn’t a carbon dioxide process but was a CARBON MINOXIDE process.

ON why the Farm Bureau in Michigan, whose responsiblilty it was to prepare and ship the cattle feed, it was originally done-putting PCB’s-fire-retardent into the cattle feed, as a mistake. When all the farmers complained, the Farm Bureau apparently didn’t check or had made so much feed that when it was shipped back, they just covered it in Molasses, shipped it out again-and then the cows loved it. Michigan suffered for years with this episode-with many untowards physical reactions for humans as well as for cattle.

*lol* If I didn't already have a great tagline, I'd use THAT.
