Just heard on the news that the dairyman in Mabton Washington owns a heard of 4000 cows. He shipped about 25 at the same time he shipped the suspect cow. With 4000 cows, he probably ships 25 every month, maybe more, and I doubt those being shipped are going to slaughter just because they aren't producing up to expectation.. Also reported on the news: 73% of downed cattle that are slaughtered, "do" enter the food chain. Hummmmm... Do you think 100% of these animals are tested? It's true this was a dairy cow, not a beef animal. But, do you think consumers know the difference? For most,, meat is meat, no matter if it's dairy or beef. Anyone who thinks that that hamburger they eat from McDonalds comes from a nice feedlot finished steer,, well, they have a lot to learn.. Maybe they think a burned out dairy cow is cut into those prime cuts you see in the supermarket.. An interesting note: Burgerville, an Oregon & Washington fast food burger restaurant, with 39 restaurants, announce that thier meat comes from vegetarian beef.. Yeah right... As for me,, I'll keep eating red meat, certianly not because I trust the USDA inspection service, but, because I think this is blown clear out of proportion.. Dick
