    Older cows won't be crossing border this year

    Hi again, Maybe r calf members will get their own way after all. Pretty soon all Canadian beef eaters might be dead if what you say about our hidden bse cases is correct. I haven't heard about more cases of human bse, but I guess maybe they are hiding too. I haven't wasted my time reading this...

    The Bald Canadian Goose,eh

    Jigs, I think most juries are still out on the "mad cow from Canada" reference. If it really went from here south, and was not living well in US herds for a long. long time, it could well have entered Canada with some of the many loads of feed imported into this country from the USA. However...

    Has anyone posted this one yet?

    U.S. feed regulations to mirror Canada's in mad cow fight WASHINGTON (AP) - The government will close a gap in the U.S. defence against the spread of mad cow disease by changing feed regulations to mirror those in Canada, FDA commissioner Lester Crawford said Monday. In remarks to a food...

    Pat Robertson makes terrorist statement

    Hey people, this is getting way out of hand! I'm sure all of you have friends and if you really think about it, you can probably think of something about every one of them that irritates you or that you don't agree with, BUT you don't "throw out" the whole person for that one quality. Although...

    More Border Screwups

    P.S. OT, Your system may well "go under" and if it does it may hurt Canadian producers for a short time, but we will come out stronger just as our industry will after the BSE farce is over. If you don't stop putting all kinds of crap in your feeds, if your country does not even try to legislate...

    More Border Screwups

    Ot, I have once again made the colossal mistake of reading something you wrote, even after I vowed to never do so again. When has any Canadian producer said that they wanted their product labelled as Product of USA? Why would we? I'm sure most of us have friends and other contacts in the US...

    Canadian money no good in '06

    Here we go again! A "bully" US organization is in trouble financially, big trouble. I know that is a rumor and I don't have facts, but many "in the know" about pro rodeo both sides of the border are passing on this "rumor" so there is probably a lot of truth to it. An arrangment that has worked...

    Merck loses in Vioxx case

    I really am surprised to read this. I read somewhere that my old friend Vioxx would be on the market in the US once again, and probably in Canada as well. No matter how much my arthritis hurts, I would not ever take the drug again BECAUSE my family history says I will probably have a heart...

    OT, let's try this. No trade with Canada...

    Maybe each of our countries should stop ALL trade in all commodities. Maybe Canada should keep all our oil and natural gas in Canada. That would hurt exporters here, but they would survive just like we have with the closed border to our live cattle, compliments of R Calf and people who think...

    It must be getting more difficult for the R Calf guys....

    I wonder what R Calf will come up with as facts this time to discredit Canadan beef and the whole Canadian meat industry? R-CALF honing strategy in fight against Canadian cattle imports EDMONTON (CP) - A group representing 18,000 independent American cattle producers will push the courts...

    Schweitzer orders cattle inspection

    OT, with your help, I understand just fine! I understand that Canada should not accept any beef from the US, because even with your poor testing procedures you have found 1 native born animal, that could well mean you have millions infected with BSE! I understand Canada should stop all...

    If you had it all to do over again, what would you do?

    Hi, I don't know if I would choose to be a rancher now or not. When I committed to this way of life I was very young and hadn't had time to look and see what else was available, you know, one of those kids who "fell into" ranching because of my father's poor health. Now I am too old and tired to...

    Schweitzer orders cattle inspection

    In the past few years schools in Canada and the USA are fighting to control bullying. I wonder how young people are supposed to know it is wrong when they watch a larger, stronger country use the same tactics as school bullies wanting to get their own way. We tell the kids it is not right to...

    Dakota governor urged to block import of Canadian Cattle

    Hi, I sure hope we don't import the Anthrax running rampant in the Dakotas into Canada. Maybe that is a reason for Canada to shut their border to all US beef products?

    Help for foot rot?

    Thank you for the suggestions everyone! We have been waiting to see what the last antibiotics, the Propen LA and the sulpha boluses would do and the cow is better. The hind hoof wasn't cracking above the toe like the front was. The hind is much better and the leakage from the front foot has...

    WTO story from NCBA

    Hi, On Mt. farm news this AM, commentator said that the US gov is getting tired of the Japanese gov slow opening of the Japanese border to US beef. The US gov may get the WTO involved to force the Japanese to rethink their stand on this matter. It seems to me that when some Canadians were...
