I have an article from several years ago, when MCD first became widely reported. Basically, what it says, and I agree with, is that the dairy industry is fully responsible for these incidents. These old 'downer' cows were once called canners and cutters, and were consigned to hot dogs, potted meat, and in the worst case scenario, pet food. Because your average citidot consumer expects cheap beef, and cannot tell the difference between a Holstein, or a Hereford, the dairies are paid pretty much the same for the critter they sell, as the cattle FEEDER is paid for his premium product.

No, gentlemen, the dairy industry is giving the BEEF industry a bad name, and they should be punished by a FEDERAL ban that prohibits any DAIRY breed from being processed for human consumption.
