USDA to appeal Montana court decision

U.S. Agriculture Department expected to go to bat for Canadian cattlemen

OTTAWA, Mar 16, 2005 (The Canadian Press via COMTEX) -- The U.S. Agriculture Department is moving to counter a Montana court ruling that is keeping the border closed to young Canadian cattle, sources say.

The department was expected to announce Wednesday how it will fight the ruling, which prevented the border from reopening to young cattle as scheduled March 7, the U.S. government sources said.

The department was expected to appeal the ruling but might also take other action, said one source on condition of anonymity.

The border has been closed since a BSE infected cow was discovered in Alberta in May, 2003.

Congressional auditors told the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday that it's not doing enough to enforce the ban on feed linked to the spread of mad-cow disease.

The FDA said it believes its inspection approach to the feed-ban rule is adequate.

"U.S. Agriculture Department expected to go to bat for Canadian cattlemen "

I am sorry, I don't know if that headline is yours or not, but that is a very inaccurate and misleading headline. That would be treason in my mind!

That is not what the USDA has in mind.

Good point Jake!

USDA is taking a science based position period.

It has nothing to do with supporting Canada or opposing R-CULT!

Sandhusker: "Which science based opinion would that be? The 30 month science or the 20 month science? Maybe the science that has no definition for "low risk"?"

The 30 month science.

Certainly not R-CULT's unproven "isolationist" driven BSE fear mongering position.

Actually, if everyone could see past the end of their noses, and think a little into the future, they are really going to bat for the American cattleman. That's OK with us. Smile

Moves made now to set a new standard are the best insurance against the finding of a positive American cow. Shocked

That should be 'against the damage caused by finding a positive American cow' Confused

Better go get some coffee! Wink

BEST science is the newest TESTs being built, and tested for BSE detection in animals an meat are getting better everyday.Faster and cheaper and detecting in any age animal is going to be the norm.The NMA and NCBA and its mercenaries will have to go underground when the truth is known.

Agman, "Response...The truth-are you referring to the possibility that U.S. beef may not be as safe as claimed? If that proves to be the case then R-Calf's claim about American beef will go up in flames-everyone else's beef is unsafe. Have a great day."

Beef that has passed the test is safe. Would your clients see any value in that?
