Up here in ther great white north BVD must be reported to our CFIA in anual reports submited by the vets involved. There are consequences for those who don't and producers who fail to attempt rectify the problem. It is a slow and drawn out process but it is focused on getting a handel on it...

OT quit beating the dead horse. A few years before BSE hit i was managing a 15,000 hd feedlot up here in canada. Did i seek out US buyers for my fat cattle .NO The US buyer came up here and offered 5 cents more a pound than any buyer up here and paid trucking, i had a board of directors to...

I really don't want to get into this. Actually a transcontinental high way would benefit canadian producers because our dollar is only 84 cents US today so we have a competative advantage. As for the war on drugs that was lost years ago. Play hard ball and make drug dealing a third strike death...

ILH as canadians we are so used to claims that we are cheating it is like white noise. there have been 14 challenges to the CWB as being unfair by US producer groups and have never lost in a hearing. Was that USDA inspector the same one who turned truck loads of hogs at sweetgrass because there...

Ot check a medical dictionary ,i know saying epidemic inspires fear. Up here we are finding BSE at the OIE expected rates so it is not a epidemic. we are finding the expected numbers because of our high rate of testing of target animals and amazingly alot of these animals are voluntarily(sp)...

FBI agents investigating BSE ? Texas ones - plural ? more than 1 BSE positive in texas ? 2003 -2007 10 cases average 2.5 cases per year is not monthly. The numbers the OIE projected, why aren't the US numbers matching the projected numbers (DENIAL) Odd 1 case found in southern manitoba is the...

OT you seem to be very accurate at numbers when it concerns canadian cattle ,how come you are not the same when you are talking about US cattle you generalize? I suggest you check the latest posts of flounder on this site, he has documentation of what is going on down there in texas,if it is...

OT you are so good at insinuation and somantic arguments. Check with the CFIA vets involved in this investigation not just the spokesman. As stated earlier a feedlot at Viscount Sask removed from quarentine list(7000 hd capacity. Fairly full) . So your numbers drop quickly check with CFIA on...

I have been gone to deliver bulls i sold. And get more bulls ready for a bull sale. I missed a bit but am amazed at the denial some are in there are 2 positive BSE in the US no disputing it. OT there have been no BSE positives ever found in Saskatchewan period, get your propoganda right. OT you...

Bagtic what are you trying to say? This extreme stuff is a waste of time, Canada and the US do 1 billion dollars of trade a day. The largest trading relationship in the world. Just come out and say what you want i am an adult an can take what ever you have to say. So let it fly.

Cryptosporidium is a single celled organism. Be very careful as it is zoonotic. Meaning it can and will transfer to humans it is a nasty bug that causes sever diarreaha. A dairy guy i talked to said the cocci tabs with arsenic, charcoal seem to help. But that is just rumor, as i have never had...

That is a good one. I perfer barley fed beef, if you feed that i would eat US beef. As far as me being "anti-american" that is so far from the truth you have no idea. All i have ever tried to say is that both the US and Canada have indeginous BSE cases. With both countries currently having the...

OT what are you babbling about? Dr. Luterback is the person who made the statement about removing the feedlot from quarentine to Newsnet on friday. Read more than one article a day . I forgot you edit when you post so do you edit when you read? I would think the full explaination that was put...

Ot it is starting to sound like a banana republic down there the US department of Agriculture has no authority over agricultural livestock feed production. You are saying the Food and drug administration controlls that. Screwed up system it explains alot.

I am suprized the vet had no answers he is a trained medical professional. Just some thoughts from my self i am no vet. but think about it. could it be they are bunged up, are they getting cobalt salt and alot of water. is the hay fairly coarse? Is the manure fairly hard? Can the rumen be heard...

Bad route -The USDA reports numbers of feed fan violation over 100 per year in the US so i would think they would take that seriously, as you have indeginous BSE cases. Are you saying the USDA is not enforcing the feed ban . If you want i can get lists of US feedban violations, but are you...

personally i use cocci-bolo tabs. Minis for scouring calve and full size for cocci in 600+ lb calves. They work well have sulfa and astringent. Black from the activated charcoal works really well.
