"Incubation in cattle 4-5 years...

Guess now is a good a time as any to stop eating beef, for me at least.

Yep. Just gotta wonder though...am I incubating?!

That 401k plan is looking less and less necessary.

Would veal be safe since they're so young??

You worry too much. I'd have a steak tonight if it weren't Christmas Eve(I always eat shrimp on the 24th). I've got plenty of prime West Virginian black angus. Our beef aren't as multi-cultural as what McDonalds typically buys. They were born & raised here. Most have never been out of the county. I suspect that its the same in lots of places in America. Its the bulk buyers who don't care what they buy that will be hurting. Local beef should be fine.

I don't think you worry too much. As for me, I stopped eating beef in '96, time now to curtail the poultry (will be a tough job). Have to deal with the mercury in tuna also.
