[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 197449, member: 97"] Not sure what the cost of testing is...I've seen figures thrown out of between $15-$30 head- altho that may not include the cost of segregation of carcass's before the results are back... I guess the main factor is that several of the independent Packers claimed they could test and make it economically feasible...Creekstone even went so far as to build a multi million $ laboratory to test-- before USDA denied them the use of the test ( at the request of the Big 4 Packers, who were not set up to test)... Creekstone has claimed that Japan would pay the difference of what it cost to test- which would have allowed thousands of more US and Canadian cattle tested at no cost to the taxpayer and would have immediately opened up the Japanese market.... BUT we wouldn't want anyone getting an advantage over the Big 4 Corporate interests- and the corporate owned USDA inc. saw to that ;-) We have the best government the corporate world can buy :mad: [b]And according to the NCBA's new President their analysis shows that for every animal slaughtered while our export markets are closed producers lose $175...[/b] [/QUOTE]
