Long recovery from mass extinction seen
WASHINGTON, March 23 (UPI) -- A Kansas cattle farm is suing the U.S. Agriculture Department for refusing to allow the company to test its herd for mad cow disease.
In a suit filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, Creekstone Farms Premium Beef LLC challenged the department's claim it has the legal authority to control access to test kits, CattleNetwork.com reports.
"We produce the highest quality beef available in America in our state-of-the art processing facility," John Stewart, Creekstone chief executive officer and founder, said. "Our customers support our brand for the many points of difference we provide. If BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) testing is an additional attribute that our customers want, free enterprise should allow us to provide this additional element."
