The recall was for downer cattle getting into the meat supply. The plant was using a fire hose to spray at the down cow's nose to partially suffocate it and then have it attempt to stand up to escape the water.
If a cow is down, the USDA vet is to check the cow to determine the cause of it being down. This was not done. Of course, BSE is one of the reasons a cow could be down. (but not the only one)
This packing plant supplied a lot of beef to the school lunch program including where I live in Iowa.
Cheap hamburger comes from cull cows, it does not from choice steers.
I raise cattle and I do sell fat cattle and I do sell cull cows. My hamburger that I eat at home comes from my fat cattle, not my cull cows.
