cowman-- I think you should be testing-- I've said so for months...Test-- go get the Asian markets.. The less cattle you have to send down here to get the USDA stamp so it will sell, the better...

But you know you won't-- your cattle organization members are spineless--your CFIA and our USDA are tied to Tyson/Cargil etal- and they say no to testing...So it won't happen..

The good thing is if Canada did test and USDA allowed in tested beef--they would have to let Creekstone and the other small US Packers that want to...

And cowman- it is hitting all the consumer magazines and websites again--the dangers of Canadian beef- and how the consumers should oppose the USDA's proposed rule on BEEF, support M-COOL, and eat only grassfed beef...

You will hear the uproar from Congress in the next few weeks after all their home constituents have time to contact them....

I just wonder how long Canadian consumers can/will keep confidence in Canadian beef...USDA predicts Canada will find at least 20 more positives--will #15 be enough for the consumers- or #20- or #30..Or how much has this #11 shut off demand???

Willowcreek: Don't be so sure. You have no idea what is going on up here? This industry is close to "free fall"...that will happen when your trading partner shuts you out with spurious court cases, inneuendo, etc.
The world is watching?
Maybe you don't care...hell good old American beef for the American consumer, right? Wrong. Good old Australian, Argentine, Mexican beef for the American consumer!
I am not a BIGC member, the boy is and the money comes out of the same bank account! I BELIEVE what they are trying to do...I'm trying to retire.
You keep that damned border shut after August and get ready to reap the whirlwind....and every other country in the world will applaud!
It is ignorant people like you that make Americans the most hated people in the world?
If you ever go on a vacation outside the US you should give me a call so you can get a Canadian pin to wear on your lapel...so the waiters won't be pissing and spitting on your food.
