Agriculture Denies Beef Contaminated With DES Hormone
Washington AP reports Agriculture Department official Richard E. Lyng refuted Senator Proxmire’s claim that 100,000 to 150,000 cattle with DES residues are slaughtered yearly. Lyng said 30.9 million cattle were inspected last year, 192 tested for DES, and only one had traces in the liver, not in red meat. A new program will sample 6,000 cattle annually for DES.

A $25,000 bond was posted after the circuit court ruling, despite government objections tied to Seale’s Connecticut murder kidnapping mistrial.
