You still are not looking any further than your own part of the industry, just as the other poster said. You evidently don't understand that for those of us in the dairy end of things, having a cow considered a downer does not make it sick, let alone make anything wrong with the meat from that animal. Yes you can have downer cows that are sick and there could be problems with the safety of that meat, but we have more that are the exact opposite. Cows get all sorts of ailments that make them unable to get up or to weak to stand. Like a fresh cow after a hard birth that never gets up again, is her meat unfit to eat? Or the cow that has a DA and has lost so much stregth she can't get up? Or the cow that slips on frozen or wet cement and breaks or rips something? There are 10 times as many cows that go down with something that has no effect on meat quality as there are the ones that have some illness or ailment that makes them unfit to eat. So your support of blanket regulations screw us out of a perfectly reasonable revenue source.
