I have been reading all I can on this (slow night at work) and the way I understand it these cows had been inspected one time and went down before they got to the rail. I agree with you on the fines and fire'ns, but why should the seller be fine'd if a cow goes down in transit. The cull cows sold here go to hundreds of miles to the plants. If a cow walks off my trailor but will not walk off the trailor when she gets to Green Bay three days later why should that come back on me. I have to pay insurance at the stock yards, when does that policy void? When the order buyers buy these cows for the plants they know they are not much to start with. For what is paid for cull cows and what hamburger cost at the store looks like they could take the loss and bury a few.
Sorry for the rant here, just hate to see things come back on the producer that happened to the cow after he had anything to do with her. Kinda like my rant on here a few months ago about a punk at the stock yard use'n a bull whip to put calm cattle in a pin. After they walk off the stock trailor (unless they have something bad that is catch'n) the farmer should be able to cash is check and go home.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
