Hi Pie! There has not been a downer cow in the USA that has tested positive for mad cow.[ two cows that were on diagnosed on their farms here in the USA not at a processor, that were born and raised in Canada and Mexico] One of the biggest reasons a cow cannot stand is because the nerve in the pelvic rim was damaged during calving. Other reasons are old age and pneumonia. It is also illegal to process downer cows for anything even dog food. Has been that way for at least 6 years. That's why that California processing plant was in such big trouble.
