BSE safeguards working
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — What a difference 8½ years makes. When the first bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)-infected cow was found in Mabton, Wash., in December 2003, U.S. beef exports had been steadily increasing, with 1.1 million tons carcass weight equivalent (CWE) exported in 2003. By the end of 2004, U.S. beef exports had fallen 82 percent to 200,000 tons CWE as major importers cut off the purchase of U.S. beef. It was not until 2011 that beef exports regained their previous level.

'For my sins'
CARLISLE, Cumbria — The fellow assigned to pick us up at the rail depot at Carlisle, Cumbria, acknowledges that — yes, he’s a farmer. “For my sins,” Eric Kitching adds for effect. It’s meant as a half-joke, and an expression we’d hear from others during our stay. Besides picking us up at the station, he volunteered his time to release the sheep for the dog trial competition.
