This is what gets me about the check-off. More ads in livestock magazines than in the ones that would reach the others.

The numbers would have one to believe your point of veiw,but I still say these Texans are ranch wise just because they live and work in town dont make them naive,lots of kids from the family farm took town jobs when packers started manipulating the markets................good luck PS what part of the beef buisness are you involved in packing?

Consumer means a person who uses goods or services to satisfy his needs.

Producer means one who produces good and services for sale

Consumer Producer is a person that uses HIS goods to satisfy his own needs while making a living off selling the product to others.

if the demand falls the consumer beneifits as the price falls and he doesn't have to pay as much out of his paycheck to buy the goods and services he needs .

If demand falls it hurts the producer as the price will also go down to stablize the fall in demand. resulting in the price for his raw product (cattle) to drop.

Now tell me what consumer producer wouldn't be willing to pay a little extra knowing that millions of non producers will also be paying a little extra out of their paychecks to cover the price he gets for your cattle? By titling this a CONSUMERS Opinion you made it look as if this person have no investment to protect which is what a consumer producer has.
