AR-News: (CA/US) Investigators locate another dairy cow from Canadian herd

[Animalconcerns]

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - Officials have located another cow from a Canadian
herd that entered this country with a Holstein infected with mad cow
disease, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Friday.

Investigators have been searching for 80 cows that entered the country
from an Alberta, Canada, farm with the sick cow in 2001. The cow was
slaughtered Dec. 9.

Federal agriculture officials later narrowed that search to 25 cows
believed most likely to have eaten the same feed. Contaminated feed is
thought to be the source of the infection.

So far 14 of those animals have been found.
