A case of mad cow disease has been found in a dairy cow in central California, John Clifford, the USDA’s chief veterinarian, told reporters today in a briefing in Washington. The animal was found at a rendering facility, Clifford said. Its meat did not enter the food chain and the carcass will be destroyed, Clifford said. This is the fourth confirmed case of the brain-wasting disease in the U.S. cattle herd since the first was discovered in December 2003 in an animal that came from Canada.

The spokesman declined to comment on the topic of the briefing. The contents of the briefing are embargoed until 3 p.m. ET. Live cattle futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange fell by as much as the 3-cent-per-lb daily limit on Tuesday on fund liquidation and selling stemming from the rumors. Quarantine on the news. If we know the contents of the USDA briefing before 3PM, we'll catch mad cow disease? Only in the Obongo Nation! Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
How do we know that the FAT being rendered isn't entering the food chain?
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
(Reuters) - The United States Department of Agriculture was holding a press conference on Tuesday as rumors that a case of mad cow disease was discovered in California sent live cattle futures tumbling.
