Cattle producers were angry and worried Friday that the lucrative Japanese market was closed to U.S. beef imports again, this time because bone tissue found in a veal shipment raised concerns about mad cow disease.
Texas is the nation's leading cattle producing state, and Japan was the largest U.S. overseas beef market for beef. Tokyo banned U.S. beef imports after mad cow was discovered in America in 2003. Japan lifted those restrictions just six weeks ago.
