What's the point of this post?

Some guy is buying up cheap cows trying to make a buck by having them tested. The carcasses need to stay accessable until the negative results come back, usually within 2 weeks. I can see someone having a problem with a dead pile of cows, but the article says they were buried some burned... sounds like as the results come back they pile a few more and deal with them.

The point is, many animals are being tested, far more than OIE suggests and all from a higher risk group. They also are not turning up positive.

I hope everyone tests as many as possible under this program. It takes the beef out of the system and gets older non productive cows off feed. A win win in this situation.

Where the cows were found, is an isolated area, miles from any large population.
