Haymaker here's some arguments you might give your buddies at the salebarn. This guy don't call it "theft by deception", he calls it "rustling".

Where did they get the captive supply from? Willing sellers, maybe?

So why would you sell to them if you aren't satified with the price offered? Do you want to legislate price? Maybe Ralph Nader could build the perfect packing company........would pay $1.00 lb for cattle and sell all cuts for $1.10 lb........Oldtimer would call that a 10% profit..............and the nomination for head of "captive supplies" is.........HAYMAKER!

Do you want the gov't to provide you with a buyer? If you raised them, backgrounded them, and finished them and you have one bidder, you either sell them, find a processor and sell the beef yourself, or figure out why you stuck all that money in that critter without a plan.
NOBODY owes you for that critter. You were responsible for him standing there in your yard finished.

Mike, this only takes one comment from their entire study. You evidently falied to look at all sides on this one. If you read their entire analysis as I have you would draw a different conclusion. They clearly state they only looked for any negative impact which they conclude is extremely small. Within the next page they clearly state they never examined the data for the positive benefits of "captive". Half-truths from partial information is par for the blamers.
The plaintiffs in the Pickett case tried to get Dr Azaam to testify and he refused clearly pointing out to them that the conclusions the plaintiffs were attempting to draw regarding the Azaam study were wrong. Have a great day.
The Zeiss scope tracks on the money. I am extemely satisfied at this point.

I am really surprised at your comments. Does it not say that this is an abstract? From my recollection, correct me if I'm wrong [and I'm sure you will if I'm wrong] an abstract is an overview of a study highlighting the conclusion. BTW, I've read the entire study outside of GIPSA.
Glad your scope tracks well, that is the very best way to know if the internal mechanisms are functioning properly. I usually try to get a new one track a one foot square, starting at top left-go right one foot-down one foot-left one foot - then back home, with all steps using the same number of clicks.
A good friend of mine bought a new Nightforce for 1000 yd. matches that wouldn't track at all. When he got it back 6 months later it still wouldn't track. It's still for sale today.
If interested I can tell you how to zero a scope using just one shot.
