    Spoken like a man who doesn't have any cattle to sell for at least a couple of months.

    If you have pens of fat cattle ready for sale you might not be so patient to wait for the "market to adjust".

    I think the Canadian producer has borne the cost of BSE long enough. Especially now that the U.S. is finding BSE cows behind every fence post. There is really no excuse for prices to remain lower on one side of the border than the other any longer.

      Well actually I do have 30 yearlings to sell and the boy has thirty. And if I can average in that $900 range I'll be satisfied and actually make a few bucks.
      The number of cattle crossing the line right now isn't exactly a flood? But I would assume when they arrive at the US packing plant they are getting the US price, so as the numbers pick up and the supply starts to shorten up here then the Canadian packers will have to up the price? I would suggest that takes time?
      I believe Lakeside has also re-entered the cow market thus taking away more kill spaces for fat cattle?
      Hopefully the USDA will, in the very near future, get their act together and scrap the more stupid rules about branding, preg checks etc. and also get that border open to cows? There is absolutely no reason for the border being closed to cows after the US has found 3 BSE cases...the same number as Canada? In fact if they have being playing a straight game they should have found 30 cases because their cow herd is ten times as large as ours?
