Mad cow excuse

This is shaping up to be the poster cow for NAIS ... what a bunch of hooey! It's already mandatory to keep records for tax purposes on every sale: if they can't track the cow from those, no amount of additional record keeping would help.

Investigators may never figure out where the Alabama cow with mad cow disease was born and raised, in part because the U.S. lacks a livestock tracking system the Bush administration promised two years ago.
