Cattle Production in Manitoba

[kato]

That challenge has kept us going for 35 years. That, and the adrenalin rush that comes when you pull a rabbit out of your hat and get away with it.

You do get tired after a while though, and that's our problem now. Do we have the will or the strength to keep it up? The days where you wake up and question your sanity are becoming more numerous.

Then you sit and remember that old "always darkest just before the dawn" saying, and hold on to that. At least for a while, anyway.

We are a tough bunch, aren't we?

Yah, O.K. Kato, we'll call it tough! ;-)

First of all Manitoba needs to get rid of that Do Nothing Government that they have. I can't say that the previous color helped any though. Increasing hog production killed that for most family farmers.

The only ones getting rich out there right now are those that are doing the buying.... the packers, the grocery giants and the grain companies.

We'd love nothing better than to get rid of them, but whoever Winnipeg votes for will be the government. Three quarters of the province's population is in the city. We poor rural folk have pretty much got no say in it. After all, outside the perimeter, it's all wilderness.

Everyone knows that...

[Sawbones]

Rumor has it that there may be some good news for beef producers in Manitoba.

[ProFarmer]

Yes I have heard Gary Doer has left the province....

[kato]

Someone should tell him not to let the door hit him on the bum on the way out.

[DogPatch]

No Loss to Manitoba.

Joking aside, Sawbones, can you elaborate on that rumour? It can't just be Doer, because that's a fact, not a rumour.

Maybe we'll all get that buyout so the province can become a provincial park? ;-)
