[QUOTE="Old Man, post: 60292, member: 894"] Think I live just south of you, Bez. I see the same thing here in our sale barns. The sale starts with many, many holstein dairy cows that I wouldn't eat if I were starving. Most of them have leg and feet problems, some Johnes, some acute mastitis, many BST injection sites. A few "no sale" are "railed" to a local slaughter house. One or two die right in the sale barn every sale. They are not fit for consumption by humans--but they're being eaten by somebody. We are now allowed to compost dead cows on our own farms--doesn't cost a cent. Just cover them. I, too, hoped the border would stay closed, Bez, but politics rules and screw the farmers, ranchers--U.S. or Canadian. The packers care only about their margin of profit. [/QUOTE]
