R-CALF Official Speaks Out Against High-Risk Cattle
Published Wednesday, August 20, 2008 at 04:48 AM
Canada does not test herd mates of infected cattle to see if there might be other cases of BSE in a particular herd. Thornsberry says, because of that fact, - the United States is missing a huge opportunity to get a more accurate assessment of just how bad Canada’s BSE problems really are. Thornsberry believes - USDA should require Canada to test herd mates for the disease if they want to continue exporting cattle and beef to the United States.
R-CALF USA stands firm in its belief that Canadian cattle, particularly the high-risk cattle over 30 months of age, should not be imported into the United States. Thornsberry says - it is downright irresponsible for USDA to continue to allow these older cattle that were born when BSE was still circulating in the Canadian feed system into the United States.
