    Canadian Meat

    I don't like any imports, but Canada is the least of our problems. The Canadians have a economy and lifestyle similar to ours, Mexico, Brazil and China isn't in the same class as far as I'm concerned.

    Vigortone mineral

    My cattle consume Purina wind and rain mineral at the recommended rate and maybe a little more, it's good stuff.

    Canadian Meat

    Supply and demand drives the market, less Canadian beef in the US means a higher price for our beef. Before COOL was shot down we were seeing record prices for beef in this country. When COOL didn't pass the price of beef plummeted. There was more in play than just COOL, but the fact is not...

    Canadian Meat

    And that's another good reason not to sell beef imported from another country as a product of the US of A, why take the risk of importing a disease from another country? The fact is the US of A doesn't need to import Canadian beef. Mexican beef is a cheaper product for the consumer. And a...

    Canadian Meat

    COOL is needed for for the US consumer, and the consumers abroad that think they are buying US of A beef. Just because a animal is slaughtered, processed in the US of A doesn't make it a product of the US of A.

    A few things that come to mind about NCBA that I don't care for. Not backing COOL and not fighting against imported beef is costing the small producers. After Mr Uden spoke at our summer conference he was off to China the next day to promote beef, not US born and raised beef. And charging $100...

    Vigortone mineral

    I would like to try some I.C.E. out. I can't see us buying 2 tons of high mag, medicated mineral. If you could post a link where I could read up on Vigortone I'd appreciate it. Thanks

    This is our truck so I'm fairly familiar with how the beef checkoff program works. And we appreciate the help, but I just can't see helping the countries that want to cut our throats in the beef business. We send ours dues off to NCBA every year but I sure don't think they have my best...

    Vigortone mineral

    I honestly don't know how or if a cow can utilize the purina mineral. But it's the first mineral that the cows consume the recommended amount. Here's another good mineral that we've used and had good luck with. The salt is a little higher than I'd prefer but the cows consume it fairly well.

    Canadian Meat

    We have the the leader in beef checkoff money "NCBA" not wanting COOL. The feedlots - cattlemen that control NCBA import beef mostly from Mexico so of course they don't want COOL. At our cattlemens meeting last week we discussed buying Mexican beef at $4.99 lb or buy CAB beef for $8.49 lb...

    Vigortone mineral

    It's hard to beat Purina wind and rain. We keep trying different mineral sources and so far Purina has been the best all around mineral for us. I'm interested in that summer cool Vigortone mineral, can you get it in high mag and medicated for flies?

    Canadian Meat

    I'm good with all that, but beef sold as a product of the US of A should be born in the US of A. Our beef checkoff program is supposed to create markets for US cattle producers, not north America.

    Canadian Meat

    Canadian beef is as good as US of A beef for the most part. The US of A is putting the pressure on China, and Japan to buy our beef, so why should Canada ride along for free at a cost to US producers?

    Canadian Meat

    There's no reason we should import Canadian beef into the US of A. I can see importing Mexican beef because of the price difference. But any imported foods should need a COOL label, and not be processed with US beef.

    A "Complete" Audit Of The Check-Off Is Needed?

    The beef I have with the beef checkoff money is NCBA needs to push US of A raised beef, not beef from Canada and Mexico.

    NCBA goes to China.

    Is Craig Uden and Kevin Kester in China to promote US of A raised beef? Or beef sold and imported from the US of A? A lot of the big dogs running the NCBA import a lot of their cattle from Mexico and Canada for their feedlots. Those cattle then can be sold a product of the US of A. If NCBA uses...

    Cattle Today site

    I was wondering what was going on myself. The horse meat poster is a grass eater on a beef site. Sure makes me wonder. As smart as MF thinks he is I don't know why he doesn't fix CT.
