Sandhusker, Maybe I am reading your post wrong, but you seem to be implying that the things being stated on swifthorses.com is not true. How can you say that when they are providing the documents that back up what they are saying.

Econ101, Why did you change the subject? Regarding your comment: "If the markets do really pick up, how much better is the average consumer in the U.S. if all the good young cattle is going to Japan and they are stuck with more older cattle?" Can you tell me what cuts are traditionally sent...

I agree that the small amount sold did not have a huge impact on U.S. beef prices (other than psychologically). However, that is not my point. My point is that these polls that are being tossed about mean nothing unless put into historical perspective. Once again, what percentage of Japanese...

So you are happy to quote polling numbers that have no historical basis in which a comparison can be made because the assumptions that you are making in Alabama are obviously true in Japan regarding Japanese consumer's perception of USDA. Interesting. I would encourage you to try to find the...

What percentage of Japanese citizens purchased U.S. beef before it was banned? That is the relevant question that will put these polls into perspective.

Thanks Econ101...you proved my point brilliantly. The other day you stated that you agree with most NCBA policies (I am paraphrasing your comment.) If that is the case, why would you go to such a stretch to attempt to criticize the NCBA with an article like this. I am just glad that so many...

You put the title on the post...please explain. I am honestly confused how that title fits that article. Can't you at least answer this question?

How did the NCBA get it "wrong?"

This is my last reply on this thread. The witness was asked the same question at trial and in his deposition. At trial, he was trying to give a different answer. The defense jumped all over this (as they should). They pointed out the inconsistencies; thus, they were attempting to show his lack...

Econ101, First, I am not Jason. Second, you could not be more wrong. It appears that Taylor was asked the same questions at the deposition as he was at the trial. He was trying to answer them differently both times. The defense lawyer was impeaching the witness by showing this fact. Do you...

jojo, you do have a point there. I don't know exactly what the defendant attorneys were getting at but it does seem that they cut off the testimony of Dr. Taylor in the questioning. For an attorney to question Dr. Taylor on Daubert or earlier depositions and then to suggest that his testimony on...

Is changing your story under oath (i.e. lying) corrupt or moral?

This is not corruption. It appears that the defendant's attorneys were impeaching the witness by using his deposition testimony which is taken under oath as well. The defense was simply pointing out that Taylor was attempting to answer the question different than he had previously been deposed...

Have you read the Beef Promotion Act and Order?

Very observant of you. That is a quote that I had posted previously; however, where in that quote does it say anything about flounder posting on a vegetarian website? That is what you just gave me a lesson about to show me my "flawed logic and reasoning." Furthermore, the reason that I asked...
