    Why the downward slide?

    I agree the more adds promoting beef the better. I don't mind giving my 2 dollars to promote beef. Maybe I am wrong on the label I am just afraid of the Brazilian beef coming here. Is going to make it not to profitable to raise calves Its a hard line Don't want to hurt the Canadian fellas but...

    Why the downward slide?

    Could be mrj From what I thought there was a lot of confusion with the USDA stamp. I don't see any misinformation. But thats OK for you being blunt. I think we both feel strongly about this and I respect you for that. Beef consumption is down a lot since the check off started maybe its not working?

    Why the downward slide?

    mrj The point with privet label is that it don't work because imported beef has a US label!!! Now that is why my senators wanted a volintary label that would of stopped them from labeling imported beef as US. That was the hope with a volintary label it would of help the private label and...

    Why the downward slide?

    I agree on label US beef in other countrys selling it as a superior product. Then you don' label it in the US because it might not be a superior? Talk about a spin doctor, what a bunch of bull.

    Why the downward slide?

    Bottom line its supply and demand. I don't know who controls all the imports and exports. We where for a short time a net beef exporter and since the label is going away in june we have turned into a big beef importer Australia and New Zeland have flooded ower maket and we have way to much...

    Why the downward slide?

    mrj I would be all for a national ID system From the ranch to the consumer. Some think similar to Japan and Korea. Most ranchers I know would welcome that. It would be great for consumer confidence.

    Why the downward slide?

    If I remember right it was in 2012 .Seem to me just about ever sample of beef burger had horse meat mixed in. They lost over 40% of beef demand because of consumer confidence. Yes they updated testing over there. We need to do the same here but we have the good old boys club here and its not...

    Why the downward slide?

    I don't know when they decided to test ground beef in UK and Irland they found most all of it containd horse and pork some up to 100% horse. How confident are you they don't bring it over here if we don't test it.

    Why the downward slide?

    I don't think packers should take some water buffalo from a third world country with no standards and mix it with mine and your beef. Then say it is north american, when some one gets ecoli blame it on your beef and mine. Thats bull in my book. What % of ecoli come from this foreign grind? Thats...

    Why the downward slide?

    What do you think about a North American label? The market now is dropping from Australia and New Zeland beef and soon we will have Brazilian Beef. You can see in the last few monthes we will have a hard time competing with them.The freezers are full of grind meet from these countrys, when the...
