'2.8 Dairy herds were far more affected by BSE than beef herds.

yes, because Dairy herds are far more likely to get MBM in their
rations,.

That too, as well as more manganese.

no because beef herds will get mineralised blocks or similar which dairy
cattle will never normally be offered.

But beef herds use salt licks at will. Added to feed, the animal
has no choice but to ingest it.

you haven't the faintest idea what a mineralised block is have you.

--and this is where jim falls apart--

What in MBM is a better match with BSE, jim?

I would like to see some of these folks with a hoe in their hand on a 110
degree day or feeding cattle when the wind is blowing 40 miles per hour and
it 10 below zero f. Or sign their name on the dotted line of a note for over
a hundred thousand bucks for irrigation equipment that we trust to a farmer
500 miles away that we have met once.

They have hard lessons to learn in life if they ever hope to succeed at
anything.

they are lessons so far removed from their way of life that they cannot
even comprehend what the learning will teach them.
Remember these people ofter never impact on the real world. I remember
the ex wife of a friend of mine. She had no winter clothes, not even a
coat. She lived in a centrally heated house with garage built in, drove
to her centrally heated office, parked in the carpark underneath the
office building. She was known to wear less in winter than summer
because the office central heating was set a bit high.

expecting people like that to understand reality is like asking a
bullock to discuss quantum physics.

You really haven't got the first clue about me and my life.

What a sorry bunch of losers.
