R-CALF Disappointed at Court Ruling
R-CALF USA is disappointed that a federal appeals court has said USDA can stop Creekstone Farms Premium Beef from testing cattle for bovine spongiform encephalopathy. R-CALF USA points out that major U.S. beef export customers such as Japan and South Korea have previously indicated they would prefer to purchase beef from cattle that had been tested for BSE. R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard says his organization - maintains that USDA’s outright refusal to allow private businesses to voluntarily test cattle for BSE has harmed cattle producers, packers, wholesalers and retail businesses that sell beef - particularly those businesses that export beef to Asia.
USDA argued that it must control the BSE-testing kits, even though Creekstone had previously spent a great deal of money to build a USDA-compliant testing lab at its facility in Arkansas, Kansas.
