Everyone is invited to attend....

[Jovid]

Attention Red Poll Breeders and anyone that wants to attend.

This is a seminar you won't want to miss during the National Meeting and Sale in Sedalia, MO, October 19, 20, 2013.

"The Discovery of Natural Determinants of Susceptibility to Infection in Cattle"
by
Steve Carlson, DVM, PhD
Iowa State University
Ames, Iowa

Dr. Carlson has discovered a gene in cattle, termed the Phenotype Salmonella Resistant gene, or PSR. He and his coworkers have shown that the presence of the PSR gene confers natural resistance to Salmonella infection in cattle. Even more important to our breed is that this natural resistance is further enhanced in non-black coated cattle. These factors have implications in both animal health and food safety for our breed. What if you can tell your meat customers that in addition to its other attributes, Red Poll beef is naturally safer? Come with questions and take part in this interesting and highly relevant seminar on Saturday, October 19th.

That.....doesn't make any sense. Don't they mean non-Angus cattle or was only black cattle in general?

Go read the study.

Go read the study.

Go play fetch with your dog.

:hide: it's coming.

 

[Red Bull Breeder]

Not today Bigfoot, to tired to play with fools. The study says redhided cattle. Only the village idiot can get so twisted up.

I'd probably say "PM me" and not post my phone number.

 

[WalnutCrest]

Anyone else think that, if this is accurate, this could be a big deal towards trying to differentiate what we're doing in the USA vs. the beef that may be coming up from S.America soon?

 

[Nesikep]

Not as long as there's the black hide craze here

 

[Son of Butch]

PSR gene confers natural resistance to NOT immunity from. Interesting and well worth cultivating, but far from (20+ years)
marketable. Reminds me of 30 years ago when the confirmation of high levels of beta carotene in Guernsey cow milk was going to revolutionize the the breed and the milk market for Guernsey milk with its cancer prevention properties and nothing ever came of it.

 

[Son of Butch]

Attention Red Poll Breeders...What if you can tell your meat customers that in addition to its other attributes, Red Poll beef is naturally safer?

Promoting 'safer' meat to customers implies BEEF is already UNSAFE and is a bad marketing policy for the entire industry.

 

[Andyva]

Wouldn't that just be an unfortunate consequence of the entire industry playing favorites and politicking instead of promoting subjective and unbiased science?

You want unbiased scientific Salmonella prevention for meat products?

1. Wash your freak'n hands.
2. Refrigerate meat.
3. Cook the meat.
4. Do not recontaminate after cooking.

 

[Andyva]

Can't argue with that, except maybe the cooking part, (cook it too long and you have ruined it for some cuts). I'm just saying, there are probably a lot of facets of the beef industry that feel pretty thrown under the bus by the whole CAB franchise, that wouldn't feel that they had much to lose by playing the product safety card.

You'll do anything you can to make a thread "anti-CAB", won't you?
No one with half a brain would feel thrown under the bus, because they know the truth is they just stood there and waited for it to run over them. Why the animosity toward CAB, but not all of the other branded beef programs that came after? Aren't they doing the same thing? Or is it just because CAB was more successful?
It gets a little old after a while.

PSR gene confers natural resistance to NOT immunity from.<snip>

Exactly ... so, if someone had (say) a herd of cattle that was homozygous PSR+ wouldn't that be something they could (should?) market towards others who are wanting to promote healthy cattle to the consumer?

Seems to me this trait would have a natural fit with the 'all-natural', 'hey, we raise healthy beef in a low-stress sorta way' crowd ... AND ... the institutional commodity guys who are turning potloads of cattle into ground beef in one fell swoop (and, who therefore, run the risk of a contaminated lymph node getting included in the grind, and therefore contaminating the entire load of ground beef).
