[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 3087431, member: 118823"] One of the hot bed topics is that it came from deer farms. What would they have been feeding to deer? Mineral supplements. I have wondered if the deer proceesors back in the day also sold deer carcasses to the same places that were using discarded cattle parts to make cattle supplements. A processing facility close to me usually does about 1500 deer every year. They also process many cattle sheep and hogs all year long. Back before the ban on animal based food supplements it would just make sense to me that buyers of left over carcass material would be buying all the carcasses they could get... cattlke sheep deer and hogs. The ban was created way back after Britains mad cow epidemic. That is where the reuse of animal parts in feed is what was causing the mad cow disease. I have to sign a statement every year that my cattle have not been fed any feed containing animal parts. Back to the deer and CWD. It was first found out west. Just stop and think though. How many salt blocks, salt/mineral blocks, and tub licks have farmers and hunters put "out in the wild" for both cattle and deer over the last 70 years. All of those supplements before the feed ban probably contained waste animal parts. [/QUOTE]
