On Friday- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported an atypical case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), a neurologic disease of cattle, in an approximately five-year-old or older beef cow at a slaughter plant in South Carolina. This animal never entered slaughter channels and at no time presented a risk to the food supply or to human health in the United States.
Over the weekend- Oklahoma Farm Report’s Ron Hays talked with the Executive Vice President of the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association, Michael Kelsey, about this cow and what it means to the Oklahoma and US cattle industry.
