it simply takes time for them to develop symptoms. yes, it is my understanding that
once they been infected they can spread the disease even if they dont have symptoms.

Something new in the paper today, something about young cows not developing
MCD? A little confusing, in that they make it sound like it's not a problem
till they develop it? I'm thinking, "if they've been infected, they're
infected, whether they live long enough to show symptoms" or are prions
different than someone with a cold or flu who is spreading germs before
they are even sick? ~ jan
