Downer cow ban sparks national debate among cattle groups states
Public comments on the USDA prohibition of downer cattle entering the food chain run about 10 to 1 in favor of the ban. About 400 of roughly 440 reviewed comments support keeping the ban, with several states and groups arguing for limited exemptions for injured cattle after mad cow disease was identified in a Washington state cow. The FSIS will decide, with no set deadline, after considering health, economic impacts, and proposed revisions.
