[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 322735, member: 97"] The article about dropping the FMD rules against South American countries and the BSE Rule 2 changes that came out in just the past few days has to make you wonder if USDA/APHIS was blowing smoke with their mandatory ID demands that it was needed for US herd safety and eradicating disease outbreaks....If they are so concerned about herd safety why are they so he!! bent to lower the regulations and restrictions on importing beef/cattle from areas all over the world that are higher risk areas of disease :?: :shock: I heard an interview on the local radio the other day with a Farm Bureau officer-- apparently at their regional convention they had some USDA/APHIS officials as guests and had put them on the hot seat about the same matter....They were asking-If being able to identify and control disease is so important to the USDA, then why are they not doing much more to control it in their own herds- namely the governments buffalo and elk in Yellowstone Park that are infested with Brucellosis and threaten the US cattle herds of 3 states...Instead of continully telling the ranchers to move back- they should be actively controlling this and working toward eradication.... But I suppose there is no Packer lobbyist handing out greenstamps for true animal health control- like they are doing to get more cheap foreign beef access- that they can pass off to US consumers as US beef..... :mad: :( [/QUOTE]
