Fair Market Beef

Sash,

You mentioned originally that the date set was April 11th. Did Jim file the case today or is he still waiting for more producers to join? Little curious as to how many he has so far, of the 13,000 he is hoping for. Has he contacted OCA or ABP specifically for support (as they seemed to be the only groups interested)? Hopefully he gets enough support soon, otherwise the July 27th trial will be here before anything gets heard.

Did you miss this part..If granted, the injunction filed by R-CALF USA would prevent the border from opening to live Canadian cattle 30 months of age and younger and all Canadian beef, regardless of the age of the source.


ALL CANADIAN BEEF REGARDLESS OF AGE OF THE SOURCE..!!!!!!

That has been the goal of R-Calf since day one. We should all know that by now.

For those who think you're opinions aren't heard, take a look at this.

This is a direct quote from the front page story in the Manitoba Co-operator. A story about Fair Market Beef.

"He insisted the action is not frivolous, but instead is born out of a deep frustration among Canadian producers who cannot export cattle because of R-Calf's court injunction.

That frustration was evident from comments by producers on an agriculture web site chatline last week, following a call by Fair Market Beef organizers for members.

"Check is on it's way. Let's give 'em hell," said one comment.

"I'm in too. Let's show these R-Calf wannabe ranchers what we're made of," said another."

Sound familiar????? ;-)

Haha, that's great Kato. Nice to know everything we say on here doesn't go unnoticed.

On an update, looks as though ABP will join the Fair Market Beef fight as I received an e-mail accidently meant for Jim Murray, from ABP, asking for the particulars of the case. I referred them to Mr. Murray's address given by Sash.
