Mad cow-Canada

The U.S. Agriculture Department was cited as saying Friday that more cases of mad cow disease in Canada have halted U.S. plans for a major increase in Canadian beef and cattle imports.
The stories explain that Canada has found seven cows infected with mad cow disease, four this year, and some were born after Canada took safety precautions related to cattle feed that should have prevented the animals from being infected.
The Bush administration was poised to resume imports of older cattle and beef from older animals.
