Mad cow case prompts cow search in Washington markets
A sick cow linked to a January diagnosis has prompted investigators to narrow a search to two unidentified Washington livestock markets. The animal lived at Sunny Dene Ranch in Mabton since 2001. A nearby Madton dairy facility is quarantined with potential herd slaughter if the mad cow finding is confirmed. Authorities note no food supply threat since key parts removed before processing. An infected carcass recall was issued for December 9. Critics say feed ban violations persist, citing X-Cel Feeds in Tacoma.
