Now we wouldn't want to let some small time producer say his stuff is BETTER than all the USDA "prime/choice" stuff, now would we? That would let the cat out of the bag that we aren't REALLY protecting the citizens, huh?

If they stop the testing, I won't be buying conventional beef any more...not that I buy that much of it now, but I'll replace beef with BISON on my shopping list.

Regarding Mad Cows Disease I believe the main worry would be with conventional raised cows, however it looks like Creekstone Farms is trying to raise the bar, but the Bush Admin is seeing this as a threat for other farms and ultimately a higher price for beef....There must be more in the pie that meets the eye...

That said i'd sooner pay a few cents more and have peace of mind enjoying my medium rare grass fed prime rib steak knowing it free from M.C disease, but then again my local farmer raises his cows under very humane conditions in accordance with nature, so i don't worry to much about this but for others who don't have access to good local meats it poses a genuine health risk.........
