Maybe Willowcreek can soon realize that the reason the beef coming from Canada and being relabeled is doing so because it is far better quality than beef raised in the US. Is it nice we can ship to the Japan market and they can not. Maybe now they can get rid of their protectionist rules and join the rest of this world. The US product isn't any better than other products it's just their fear mongering that lets them think they are better than any body else.It is to bad that Rcalf veiws have caused so much hardship both in Canada and the US.

InaHurry- Actually its kind of like the grocer does have a USDA stamp in his drawer...

After he removes the beef from a box labeled "Product of Canada" and/or cuts the CFIA inked stamp off the beef- he repackages in a package with a USDA inspected sticker on it...Then he pass's it off to unknowing consumers as US beef and a US product...

In any other business- with any other product- this would be FRAUD...Thankfully Montana will end it...

I have tried those Montana grass fed steaks a restaurant in Billings. I think shoe leather tastes better. I hope you label your meat product of USA so when I am down there again I can look for a quality Canadain Steak. Much as I know you bragg about using Canadian Bacon.

One time I bought some really good looking steaks at a grocery store in Washington labelled "Corn fed USA beef". Other than the yellowish tint to the fat this baby looked good...cut real thick, marbled etc.? We barbequed them back at the motorhome...and it was not what I would call "a good eating experience"! They were tender but very bland...not very flavorful at all!
Now that doesn't mean I haven't had some very good steaks in the USA...and even during the BSE border closure days...so some of these were definitely American beef(no switching here). There is a little bar/grill in Great Falls that has some of the best steaks I've ever had...and they advertize it as USA beef!
