Hat did you answer my question and I just missed it? Why Japan isn't taking your beef...rememeber? I'm going to wonder if you're diverting etc, etc, etc.

Well of course he is! What's his favourite saying? "You have no proof to back up that statement." I guess he can't give you a straight answer, and can't be honest about not knowing the answer.

I found the answer to Question #1 interesting where they said

Quote:
No animals that show signs of systemic illness and disease is allowed into the human food supply


but The next paragraph it says

Quote:
The brain from animals that exhibit signs of neuroological inpairment during inspection are submitted for testing and analysis by the USDA's National Veterinary Service Labortories. The mark of inspection will not be applied to carcasses and parts of cattle selected for BSE testing until the sample is determined to be negitive. Only if tests results are negitive will the carcass and parts of cattle pass recieve the mark of inspection, be released into the system.


It looks to me as if you still eat your downers

Question #3 Do you think you will find more cases of BSE ?

---has not found a positive animal yet, --- it is possible that USDA could find an addition case.

The US beef industry better hope they don't as after what R-CALF has been spewing you done. You will be marketing only 20 month and under cattle and shooting the rest when you are done with them as you won't be marketing them.

A few other of the questions had equally disturbing answers. But what was you point in pointing out question #13.

I do beleive that answer, Hat, now what can we or should we all do about it? Drop the hormones, test, look elsewhere for buyers of our beef the way we make it and like it? Have a good day all!
