The Alberta Beef Producers and Canadian Cattle Commission have a long and contorted record of speaking out of both sides of their mouth. On my side of the Medicine Line they conduct saturation advertising campaigns stressing "If it Ain't Alberta it Ain't Beef". Implying our foothills raised...

Randy, I don't want to pour cold well water on what sounds like a good idea and a positive initiative, but does this beef get marketed as "Canada Gold" stateside? If not then why bother. It's like Alberta Beef Producers spending millions of the cow tax money on the "If It Ain't Alberta It Ain't...

So Randy, is this finally an admission that the billion-buck-BSE-bailout - which saw the money gushering up to the feedlots and the packers instead of trickling down to the cow-calf guys - was a disaster for producers? Which has been my contention all along. Including the Tories' support of...

I got a drill in my computer software called Microsoft Office Picture Manager where you can cheat your snaps back into shape even if you blow your exposure a little. I ran your hiefer through it and it came out not half bad. The buildings are still a little hot though. If you're runing Microsoft...

The Ranchers Beef train wreck just gets worse. You are here: Home / News & Events / News Releases / Nov 2, 2007 Statement of Dr. Richard Raymond... Statement of Dr. Richard Raymond Regarding Increased Testing and Re-inspection of Imported Meat and Poultry Products from...

Thanx Oldtimer and Porker. Rkaiser may not see it that way. Although I don't want to get down on Randy, he's done a lot of good things on behalf of Alberta beef producers. A lot of things done in Alberta in the name of BSE Bingo didn't make sense. Especially when the goofy Tories were trying to...

Yup Oldtimer, you're right. Check this dude out. Marler Clark E. coli attorneys file lawsuit against Topps SEATTLE, WA (October 1, 2007) – A lawsuit was filed today against Topps Meat Company, the meat producer whose ground beef products have been identified as the source of an E. coli O157:H7...

I don't mean to pee in the pickles here being an Alberta boy, but isn't Ranchers Beef now "owned" by the Alberta government since Alberta Treasury Branches was left holding the paper on it after it went down? I wonder who will get sued? And Ranchers Beef was supposed to be the cattle industry's...

Does anyone know if the Alberta government will have lawyers in Portland to try to talk the 9th Curcuit out of closing the border again? Or at least starting the process again? If not then why not? Last time out it cost Albertans a billion bucks. And instead of going to the boys and girls on...

I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a link to the Garth thing too. I tried Googlin' her up but it was a no show. If it's true sounds like him and Trisha don't want to sell too many records north of the ML. Or should we be calling it the Fence these days?

The class action's kinda interesting, eh? The guy running it was plenty cocky when I interviewed him the other day. But contingency-fee lawyers always are going in. And he convinced Judge Winkler to throw it open to a full trial. The Aussie feed company already appears to be running scared. On...

Most of you folks south of the Medicine Line may not be aware of the high octain anti-American ads that Paul Martin and his Liberals are running in the Canadian election campaign. Personally fingering Dubya as the root of all evil. You can check out these disgusting commercials on the Liberal...

Don't most of the Alberta Feedlot Alley fat ones go through Kingsgate Crossing into Idaho heading for the Tyson plant at Pasco, Wash.? Anyone who's driven that route on a hot August afternoon nose what I mean.

And just when you thought it couldn't get worse, the Klienies jumped in and stopped the UFCW walk out at Brooks. Leaving a bunch of Sudanese refugee meat cutters wondering who they left the corrupt government back home. Tyson and Cargill got most of the Alberta government's mad cow money and the...

Just in time for the border opening UFCW is poised to take the brothers and sisters out at Tyson's plant at Brooks, Alberta. Which handles pretty close to half our beef kill. That flood of Canadian cattle could turn into a gusher now that Johanns won and Leo lost in Seattle. I wonder how that's...

You mean like ranchettes, condos, gas wells, Jack Niclaus signature golf courses? We got enough of that up here without the Supremes getting in on the deal thanx to chicken poop county councils that allow pretty well un-regulated acreage development on what used to be good cattle-growing ground.

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) Epidemiology Update July 8, 2005 A detailed inventory of the index herd and sorting of cattle of interest continues. On Wednesday 29 adult animals were transported to a collection site. These animals were euthanized and sampled for BSE tests. Hot off...

Note to BSE-Tester. Yup, that's me. Give me a buzz at the Scum about the live test. Cheers Neil

Err, I wouldn't load up the stock trailer with yer stuff quite yet. Up here north of the social medicine line chicken ranching (not the Nevada kind) is supply managed. The government tells you how many broilers you can grow. But if you want to get into the elk business, we've got as whole lotta...

Here's my all time favorite quote from Johanns' press conference. "I'm going to be very straightforward in discussing them and in my response to those issues. The first relates to the way parts of the carcass were identified and stored while the testing was being conducted in November. Parts...
