NMA FILES PAPERS FOR AN INJUCTION

[Maple Leaf Angus]

I'll bet you are right, Don. It appears that the NMA wants to show r-calf that the litigation knife can cut both ways. And it will be interesting to see what happens if/when they suceed.

wouldn't that be sweet if RCalf has to post a bond to protect the packers....lol

I wonder if Leo will put up Midlands Bull test as security? or if Bullard will use his little shack in the woods?

I bet they wont....they will go begging hat in hand to the producer again.

i'm sure the r-calfers will come out of the woodwork to volunteer security. right oldtimer and haymaker?

So if the border opens and we producers lose money we can sue the packers and have them bonded? I say since the judge ruled on it they are barking up the wrong tree on trying to bond R-calf.

Boy, sounds like you R-CALF guys might have to donate alot more calves at your sales to pay this off. Good Luck.

i would guess if they got the border opened under false pretences or in an illegal manner they might have some liability. this effort by the nma probably won't succeed in my guesstimation but it does put the r-calf spokespeople on notice that they might be held responsible for what they say.

I heard today that the amount is 7million a week that R_Calf would have to come up with. If you combined Leo, Pat Goggins and all of the rest of them, they could maybe cover a month. This could get very interesting!!!
