Rethinking the testing issue

[Willowcreek]

Oxbow- as you already said many NCBA members are forced to become members or have their membership deducted from sale price or added to feed bill in order to sell cattle to or feed cattle at certain feedlots and with some buyers. Many NCBA members were not even aware they were members. Then they had the practice that if you wanted to join your state cattle association, you had to join NCBA. Many of these are changing, hence the drop in NCBA membership and the steady rise in R-CALF members.
