[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12659"] From the USDA site...... "The inspection and grading of meat and poultry are two separate programs within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Inspection for wholesomeness is MANDATORY and is paid for out of tax dollars. Grading for quality is voluntary, and the service is requested and paid for by meat and poultry producers/processors." I am impressed.. I am not touting the wonderful nature of the USDA, my point is that the spin on this is horrendous, especially considering all the other "dangers" out there. To effectively shut down an entire industy in any country for ONE cow with this disease is an HUGE overreaction. I somewhat understand the "live cattle export" issues. We do a terrible job in regard to Mexican cattle..hence the re-introduction of TB to Texas, brought in from Mexico cattle. Has anything changed? Yes, the Texas producers have to test for TB every 6 months and the Mexico cattle just continue to come in. pftttt [email=bwflonghorn@hotmail.com]bwflonghorn@hotmail.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
