Mike, your comprehension may be a bit off. I never said Creekstone would force all other beef to be tested. If some beef is tested for BSE, logically all beef would have to be tested by customer demand.

Re. estimates, I do not know the basis for those estimates, but Im betting you agree with other estimates for which you favor the outcome. Call it a guess if you wish, as that won't affect anyone but you, so no harm done.

Sandhusker, isn't it logical that the OIE rules be followed in international trade? They are "ours" only in that they were agreed too by representatives from many, maybe all nations.
