Two weeks ago one of the editors for DTN, Marcia Langly, made the guote"No one should trade the options market without reading Micheal Lewis book, titled "The Big Short."" Well I did. It blew my mind as to how a handful of inside traders could manufacture an options market on mortgage credit...

I visited a MuskOx research farm in Alaska. They basiicaly said the same thing. However, they had domesticated them and it looked like it should be doable. I got the impression that the University of Alaska probably was way behind the lower 48 on genetic research. They told me it was because the...

Does anybody out there know if a cow can carry an embryo from a none related species? In particular I wondered if a cow could carry a Muskox embryo to term. I have been carrying this idea around as a solution to more rapidly propagate endangered species. If any knows where there is experimental...

My tax man won't let me deduct the cost of care and purchase of dogs and horses even though I use them in my cattle operation. I was wondering if any of you we're treated differently? It only seems fair to me that if I can't deduct the cost of feed and upkeep that I shouldn't have to report...

I was wondering how my friends out there feel about our US Govt bailing out corporations that take their production to other countries, cost us jobs, and compete with companies that stay in the US. Actually management of many of these companies maroud and strip until they drive them into the...

Front page health news on Yahoo says Canada has developed a low cost blood test that can efficiently diagnos BSE. Hopefully now we can test just like we do for TB at the slaughter plant and all the fear and hype will be a thing of the past. Was wondering if anyone else saw this or if I have some...

How are you all going to cope with such high grain prices? Can we deal with $7.00 or higher corn prices?

I emailed USDA to find out about meat grading and inspection. According to my reply USDA has washed its hands of both by subcontracting those duties to AMS. Packing plants are responsible for paying for those duties. So where does that leave us if more meat is packed outside the country? What...

Is the issue of packer ownership of feedlots and market ready cattle. With them moving out of the country they have complete control of the cattle business and the market channels in the US and there is nothing we or congress can do about it. Foreign imports will have priority access to market...

Does anyone out there know where our dry fertlizer comes from? I thought I remember reading an article one time that said most of it comes from Canada. I checked our local plant and found a lot of cheat grass growing around the storage bin. I wonder if it came from the fertilizer. Actually it...

Our government doesn't work. That's why all of them are resigning. You are waisting your time arguing about govt. policy. So all the arguments here are superfulous. Our opinion doesn't matter. So why the hell do we keep paying our taxes? To support gay or perverted govt. officials?

Has anybody here explained why packing conglomerates can't keep track or trace imported beef? Why is it so hard for them to identify beef they ship across the border? In my estimation only live cattle shipped across need to be identified. This could be very easily acomplished with a registered...
