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.
