[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 40182, member: 245"] Oldtimer Before I start, let me just say that I have the utmost respect for anyone who can stay in law enforcement for the long term. Back when I was contracting, I had a young rookie that used to work for me occasionally. His Dad told me that the hard physical work we were doing was good therapy for him. I'm sure that 'being the law' has its good points, but some things he told me about like handling decomposed bodies, or having to tell a parent there child was run over by a car seem pretty tough to me. You seem like a reasonable man. The big question is' Is R-CALF truly trying to protect the US from BSE or is this a protectionist stalling tactic.' If one in a million cases of BSE are naturally occurring, your chances of finding BSE should be 20 times what ours are, so are you really doing the testing. I read an article a few days ago that said you haven't been. The texas cow was just the tip of the iceberg, many cattle had the wrong part of their brain tested or weren't tested at all. At least we are doing our testing even if we are finding the very occasional case. Yet, it is the Canadian beef that is being branded as unsafe. I just don't understand how you can make the conclusion that tested beef that finds the occasional case of BSE is less safe than untested beef that shows signs of having BSE. [/QUOTE]
