No Tommy as I know better I'm asked every time I cross the border if I have ANY beef. Don't think I would want to get caught as the US Border crossing GUARDS all pack guns and they may shoot first and ask how much later. Rolling Eyes

Very good point Sandhusker. Ever try to get into Canada if you have any type of criminal record? Even truckers who plan to enter and leave have some real issues in that regard. The old Buszcszcszchhh Whacker is pulling out all the stops to get the border opened. Even to the point of a veto of any action of the Congress. Does this guy have a clue?!?!?!?



Ever try to get into the U.S with a criminal record Question


You don't need to have a criminal record to be stopped at the US border all you have to be is a roast beef sandwich Laughing


I guess I better leave my lunch at home then? Laughing Next time I go south of the line.

If you take one it better be P.B. AND J sandwiches and water as that maybe the only thing they will allow.

Got caught with an orange once. Had to sit and eat it right there before we could move on.

It's all a moot point now though, because we're not going south any time soon anyway. That would mean driving through North Dakota, and we don't want to do that.

They don't want our money anyway, eh? Wink

Cargill cutting back 03-06-2005
By DANNY ANDREWS

Herald Editor

Due to low cattle prices and a federal judge´s decision to keep the border closed to Canadian cattle over “mad cow” concerns, Cargill Meat Solutions here will cut back to a 36-hour weekly operation.

General Manager Jim Rathke said Friday that Cargill here had been back up to 40 hours the last two weeks but will join the company´s six other plants in reducing hours.

“We´ve been on a 36-hour week for most of the last three months,” Rathke said.

Cargill has about 2,050 hourly employees.

“We´re looking at this on a week-to-week basis,” said Rathke, noting that Cargill currently is processing about 3,600 head a day.

“While we have been operating in reduced mode for some time, current market conditions and lackluster seasonal beef demand are forcing us to further reduce the number of cattle we process weekly,” said Bill Rupp, president of Cargill´s beef business.

Cargill´s other plants are located in Friona; Dodge City, Kan.; Schuyler, Neb.; Fort Morgan, Colo.; Milwaukee, Wis.; and Wyalusing, Pa.

Rupp agreed that the tight supply of market-ready cattle and the continued closure of the U.S. border to Canadian cattle are making market conditions difficult.

Based in Wichita, Kan., Cargill Meat Solutions is a leading producer, marketer and distributor of branded and unbranded meats. It is a subsidiary of Minneapolis-based Cargill. Cargill is an international provider of food, agricultural and risk management products and services.

Cargill has 105,000 employees in 59 countries. Posted to MyPlainview: MARCH 07, 2005 20:59 CST
