    Canada identifies origin of mad cow disease case; Korea bans Canadian beef

    “They’ve got the birth farm, which is important,” Masswohl said. “I understand that everything is in Alberta.”

    The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association says a beef breeding cow found with mad cow disease on an Alberta farm was born in the province at a different farm. Association spokesman John Masswohl says the Canadian Food Inspection Agency identified the birth farm. It is the first case reported since 2011. South Korea announced it was banning Canadian beef.
