It’s only one animal at the moment I have just heard. Hopefully that should be easy to contain. 

1 cow & 2? calves, this will test cattle paperwork, if farmers paperwork is as it should be tracing cattle  history should be straightforward.

But only one case confirmed I believe. the off spring will have been slaughter as a precaution.

Whoever it was that decided it was a good idea to feed herbivores ground bone meal as part of a high protein diet to improve productivity needs their testicles burning off. 

You can bet your bottom dollar it seemed a good idea at the time with plenty of back patts on the burk that made that decision.

I think the biggest problem was when someone thought it would a good idea to lower the temperature that had to be reached in processing the stuff.

During the crusades the Saracens fed their horses dried camel flesh to improve their endurance ( Sir Walter Scott wrote in " The talisman")

Totally disagree feeding that type of feed to begin with.

Regardless of not following the correct process. 

 

 

 

And what a price we have paid too.

Must admit it doesn't sound like a good plan. Not too sure how many of the end users knew where the protein that went in to the feed came from

i was only trying to be gender-neutral

But what about those that don't want to be cattle. This world's going mad.

What about the cattle that identify as hippos at the weekend ? A more species neutral term is required these days......

Some people just have no idea do they ???

There have always been isolated incidents in cattle, the epidemic wasn't new, just the extent.

surely all of the farmers cows have eaten the same contaminated feed???

not for many years, probably ten or more generations back now.
