Tam, "In "unless it is all tested" do you mean US cattle too? as the OIE rules state rules for imported products can not differ from those used on domestic produced."
The OIE also mentions a little thing called an effective feed ban. Effective feed ban means you don't find positives born 5 years after the ban was put in effect. Do you really want us to follow the OIE?
Tam, "A better question is how long is it going to be before US consumers groups start asking, with all the trade in cattle and feed we have done over the years why is the Canadian testing protocol finding cases and the US testing system is not? How much long are consumers going to accept your beef without testing?"
The USDA says BSE is virtually non-existant in the US. Are you saying consumer groups have reason to question the USDA? R-CALF is supposed to accept their judgement without question, why don't you expect everybody (including yourself) to do the same?
