Yes. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow disease is a neurological disorder apparently caused by prion formation in the brain. It's degenerative and eventually fatal.
BSE is zoonotic; it traverses species lines too -- and has appeared in sheep (where it's called scrappie), minks and humans (where it's called Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease, Kuru or The Laughing Disease in the New Guinea region). It's reasonable to assume that it should transmit to many higher mammals.
It transmits via the food chain when neural tissue is consumed. Sterilization procedures are unusual as autoclaving infected material to 750F left it still contagious.
At this time, there is no effective treatment. Last time I looked, it was roughly 3 months from symptom onset to M&M.
