The transmission was very poor, but I think I heard the following: The Holstein in question was purchased in Oct 2001 from another farm in Washington State (records narrow it down to 1 of 2 farms). The cow at the time of purchase was a "Springer" (about 2 years old), which would make the cow 4-5 years old on Dec 9. The cow was just diagnosed initially with a pelvic inflammation, consistent with giving birth to her 3rd calf. The cow therefore passed inspection. The recall involves just over 10,000 pounds of product, which is one day's production at the facilities that processed the product. The product and by-products involve several facilities. The incubation time for BSE is 4-5 years. The ban on animal feed began Aug, 1997 with about 75% compliance. As of today, only 2 of 1826 suppliers are out of compliance.
