Another problem with OU “chalav stam” is that the OU allows milk from cows which have had their abomasum pierced. If your posek holds that this makes the cow a treifa, OU chalav stam is just treif (because the cows that get pierced are more than 1/60).
Someone mind explaining this one to me? I had thought that a Treifah is an animal (or person) that will not live out the year.

In addition, these Halachos of Treifah apply to people as well. Are we Machmir there as well (for example, that someone who kills someone who has the equivalent surgery will be Patur, even though the murdered individual could have lived another 60+ years)? I imagine there are other Halachic ramifications as well.
