It will be interesting to see what they come up with after all the testing is done and the results are in as to how the deadly strain originated.

This is really interesting Nancy. Thanks for posting. The deadly strain of e.coli might decrease if the cattle are fed hay before slaughter but pasture raised beef does not even have O157. Another reason to eat Grass fed beef.
What is grass fed beef? The picture in my mind is cattle roaming around acres and acres of beautiful green pasture. The truth may soon be far from this. Quote:

They have a surplus of stomachs for a reasons, they're meant to be able to get nutrition out of things that don't have a lot of nutrition for us 1 stomach'd beasts. Easy to digest stuff can't be good for them.

I read in a nature book about deer...that they cannot digest grain
during certain parts of the year. http://www.gov.ns.ca/natr/wildlife/lgmams/feeddeer.htm We feed our deer salt and some corn, as the moms wean their fawns. We put out only a small amount...each day..and the deer leave and eat the natural sources for the rest of the day. Since doing this we have had several generations of heathy deer. But too much corn, and they will get sick. Deer are ruminants too, and the locals feed hay in the "deer yards" during the winter. They have a small tract of township land that they farm just for the deer. (they do profit from the hunting season...so this is their investment). But you know, too much omega-6 corn for cows...leads to poor fat types for us to eat. Free range beef is not only better for them, but for us, as then, the meat has some omega-3 in it as well.
