Mad Cows
In Colorado thus far, worry about mad cow disease seems more prevalent among ranchers, who are apprehensive about their future, than among consumers.
The Colorado Cattlemen’s Association says that U.S. beef is heavily regulated, and safe. Nation-wide cattlemen and beef producers have maintained that U.S procedures for stockgrowing and meat production are sound, while pointing out that the scare was caused by a Canadian cow.
