the standard test used to detect BSE in cows is to cut off its head and
study the brain cells. Unfortunately, once an animal is subjected to the
test, it's shelf life is greatly reduced.....

Living deep in the heart of Canadian cattle country, and having family and
friends that raise them, my heart goes out to the US ranchers... we've seen
what ignorance, overreaction and press hype can do to the cattle
industry.....
