TESTING, TESTING

Testing has shown that 20 cows killed Saturday at a Boardman dairy were not infected with mad cow disease, agriculture officials said Thursday. That's great. No, really, it is. But here's the interesting thing:

Saturday = Jan. 24.

Thursday = Jan. 29.

Five days from killing to announcement of test results. So how come the one killed on 12/9 took nearly THREE TIMES that long before results were announced the night before Christmas Eve? Hmmm....
