(so the rest were killed?)

quote
"Cattle were removed from the affected paddocks to safe grazing and have been monitored through tests on blood and milk to confirm milk from the cows was safe."

(How can the rest be moved if the first paragraph says the remaining stock were destroyed?)

(And the above paragraph says they were testing milk)

quote
"Fonterra's general manager of milk supply, technical and assurance, Dianne Schumacher, said the herd was not milking at the time of the exposure and there was no food safety risk."

(You can't test milk if the cows aren't milking)


Something is wrong with that report......................... Oh wait, its the media

Come on bro don't blame the media they have two deal with the dairy farmer
