It was almost over. After a year and eight months, the U.S. was finally ready to lift their ban on Canadian live cattle and beef imports -- a ban they put in place in May 2003 when the first case of BSE (aka mad cow disease) was discovered in Alberta. The ban devastated the Canadian beef industry. A cow that would have normally sold for $1,300 was selling for $15 instead. In total, the ban has cost the industry an estimated $5 billion.    But on Dec. 29, 2004, the USDA announced that it recognized Canada as a "minimal-risk region" for BSE and imports of young Canadian cattle would resume March 7, 2005. The new classification meant that Canada could have up to 11 cases of BSE and still be considered a safe country for cattle exports. Canadian cattle farmers rejoiced.    The next day, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) reported that preliminary tests had turned up another suspected case of mad cow disease in a 10-year-old dairy cow. They confirmed it three days later, but American officials said the announcement would likely not affect their decision to reopen the border.    Then the other shoe dropped.
