Subject: RE: I understand the recall goes back to 2006??


North Cental Mo.
One thing that stuck out to me in the article, was the mention of the age of most of the cattle eing 5-7 years old. Now first you have to assume those are cows, and at that age are the heart of most herds. Unless they lost a calf, those cows don't go to market, that's a pretty healthy age for a bovine. What I'm getting at is just how many cattle of that age would have went down to justify the massive recall. Location of the plant may play into it.
