Sick cow traced to Canada could aid beef trade
U.S. investigators tentatively traced the first mad cow disease case to a Canadian-origin dairy herd of 74 cattle shipped from Alberta to Idaho in 2001. If confirmed, the link may limit damage to the American beef industry by preserving disease free status and trade. The Washington state cow, identified in Oct 2001 and confirmed by an international lab, sparked focus on tracing the remaining cattle and assessing spread.

Beef Industry Braces as BSE Fears Persist
West Chambers County landowner Johnnie Jennings notes no lasting damage to his cow calf operation despite consumer fear over BSE. He cites pasture grazing, spring calves, and fall sales to feedlots, warning large mass production ranches may face trouble, though prices remain near historic highs. Local restaurants emphasize safety, with Hoffbrau, Outback, Golden Corral, and Ryan’s reporting strong sales, strict systems, and USDA assurances of safe, inspected beef despite the scare.
