I can't believe someone said mad cow, how naive!

You could be thinking of Brucellosis.
"Brucellosis is primarily a disease of the reproductive tract, especially in females. It spreads when infected animals make contact with susceptible animals. The organism is also spread by body fluids of infected animals, including milk and urine. The greatest number of brucella organisms is shed at calving. Bulls have a lower rate of infection. The infection spreads rapidly in unvaccinated cattle, usually ending in abortion. Cows that abort and return to normal are still spreading the organism throughout the herd. Infected animals may have retained placenta or reduced milk production. Brucellosis is caused by Brucella abortus in cattle, bison, deer, elk and other ruminants. After aborting, some cases will recover and others will not. The variable response depends upon what stage of gestation the animal became infected."

This is why we pasteurize milk.
