Nilson Bros - XL beef

ccwilson_ seems to me awail back, you said that you got ruffed up by a unrully colt. Broken ribs or something. I'm wondering now.

Ohh wasn't an unruly colt was probably one of the best horses i've ever rode-she was going flatout and turned a cow back when my front cinch broke. Saddle rolled under her then flanked her-kids said it was wild too watch lol.

The important thing to remember here is we still have options? If you don't like Nilsons then don't deal with them...that is your right? If you don't like Cargill/IBP then don't deal with them either. They may look like they have a monopoly but in reality they don't? Nerves, rpkaiser, whiteface and grassfarmer are all moving toward a system where they don't have to deal with them. Anyone who wants to put in the effort can do the same? I guess it just comes down to how committed you are to your industry and how far you want to take it?
When the dust settles on this thing, many Canadian cattlemen will be gone...either of there own choice or because they couldn't hang in there. Not pretty but then major change is always tough to accept?
