"formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)." ok, who officially change the name of BSE????? Statements like this also prove just how much a reporter did their research and their own bias.

"We want to do business with Canada, but we don't want to trade at the risk of our industry," said Shae Dodson, a Billings, Mont.-based R-CALF spokeswoman. "We don't want to introduce BSE into our American herd -- or any other foreign disease." This statement sound so much like what Canada...

Ok, i have been quiet the last few days, but this is something that needs a bit of sanity put back into it: If the US goverment limits packer owned and controlled cattle to 7 days, then how would a feedlot operator or cow/calf operator use forward contracts, bais contracts, futures hedging or...

let him stay, he makes us all look smart, even Oldtimer :lol:

"The largest supply of crude is said to be in the Alberta tar sands, but extraction is expensive and slow. Higher prices for crude are what makes companies willing to spend the extra dollars to reach these supplies. If the price were to fall production would simple slow as oil will keep" I was...

Silver, If you put the back and the tag together before putting them in the ear, there is enough room left for the RFID tag to be put in all on one back. Its a bit tight, I tried a few this way to see how it works. Other wise with the RFID and visual ID tag in one ear it gets a bit crowded...

OMG guys... OT have you ever wondered why USA has a trade defecit? It is because the USA is currently the largest consuming country in the world. You don't have enough basic resources or production capacity to suppy what you produce. Therefore you have to import it. A number of years ago...

Same here MLA, got a letter demanding just about 1/2 of the 2003 CAIS payment back. To top this of, the amount they want back is included in the 2004 T4 as taxable income. So what is happening, they are taxing it in the 2004 tax year, then demanding it back in 2005. I called and asked about...

Sandhusker, there is ranches north of White horse, Yukon. The land is cheap, weather in Whitehorse is pretty decent, and the crops they can grow in 75 days of 24 hours of sunlight would amaze you, and it is all cattle feed. Such as Alfalfa, timothy and brome grass. There is also large grass...

Sash, how can we help Jim Murray with this lawsuit, or even get on board.

MR, if you want i can give you Leo's home phone number or Midlands bull test phone number. Should be able to catch Leo there, but dont bug Sam, she is a sweetheart.... :lol:

OT, in hind sight i would hope that we would make our decision's based on science, but whats politics and big money get envoled, who know's. In 1999, when RCalf used NAFTA to impose a duty/tariff on Canadian Cattle, I asked Leo what was really behind this. His response was that he didn't feel...

good one ML Angus.... I have heard that before, except with $1.50 calves or $10 canola.

Ty Cattleco, I think you may be right. The economy of the western world is just about at the top and only has one place to go....Bust. There is an old saying in the oil patch here, and it applies to agriculture now, something like this: "Please Lord just give me one more boom, I promise I...

Tommy, I wonder why this list is private, but then it may your USA laws that RCalf is hiding behind. Up here the membership of any non-profit association is public information. The reason i want this list is as so this spring as we make our choices of semen and company's to use, we can...

I was looking the other day, and couldnt find it. Does anyone here know if there is a membership list to RCalf-USA? Or is this a secert? If anyone has one, please forward it to me [email protected]

Here is how i see things going to happen... USDA and the Bush Administration have to implement the rule as published. This is cause they cannot be seen letting one judge overturn a federal trade policy. If this happens then all trade agreements the US goverment does not mean anything. It...

I know this is no fault of Canada's- but without a system in place we should not be taking in high risk cattle that could end up in our cattle feed....Like has been posted on here many times- much of the battle you perceive as R-CALF against the Canadian rancher is actually R-CALF and ranchers...
