Alberta's cattle industry is taking the newest BSE case in stride.

Agriculture Minister Doug Horner told a livestock conference in Calgary that consumers are confidant with beef safety measures.

"That's in large part due to the collaborative effort that has been put in place by the partnership of industry, government and regulatory authorities working with our global partners to say our surveillance system is second to none".

The CFIA investigation on the quarantined Edmonton farm will focus on whether the 4 year old dairy cow had any calves.
