Re: [RC] OT - Mad Cow Disease in WA State - Truman Prevatt
The US beef industry may have some clout on the guy that wants to be
president, congressman or senator. This morning in the St. Pete Times
that eight nations, including our largest beef importer Japan, have
blocked US beef imports. This added to the EU that already blocks the
import of most US beef products because of the use of hormones should
get someone's attention to try to figure how how it got here, how long
it's been here, etc. I sure would not want to be a rancher right now -
just when the market was recovering.
