27. The new Canadian system
Has the tracking for beef from cradle to grave. The numbers are tracked even through auctions and sales. This was imposed after we were put into the penalty box.

The only thing is that BSE is a disease, like cancer, it naturally happens. It is not only transmitted through contaminated feed. The number for natural occurences is 1 in just under one million. If you think about how many cows there are in North America it is amazing only a dozen or so cases have been spotted in the past few years.
