    Calving in a blizzard

    Porter---I think I am looking out my kitchen window at your pics. I, too, am in southcentral north Dakota along the SD border, SE of Bismarck about 100 miles. The wind switch to the north last evening really socked things in. Calves are holding up pretty well, but do need sunshine, and a...

    Cattle predictions for 08

    In our neck of the woods the distillers grains n any form are getting extremely hard to get. Better plan on a wait of a week or two. Even th syrup, which used to be free is spoken for quite aways out.

    catch pin design. "PICTURES"

    I don't know how many $$$ you have to spend. I have about 250 feet of portable corrals, but recently bought a Wilson Wheel corral---wished I would have done that years ago. They are not cheap, about $8,000 or so. I am 53 years of age and can have the corral ready to hold cows in about 15-20...

    Is the fuel shortage over?

    Never was a fuel shortage, only the Buschhhhh Wahcker and his friends lining their pockets.

    Go get gas and fuel NOW!!!!!!!!!!

    Just returned from Labor Day visit to N Illinois from ND. Drove pretty much the same route coming and going. C-Store approx 120 miles north of Twin Cities on Aug 31 had unleaded at $3.159, same station on Sept 6 had same unleaded at $2.899. Obviously more traffic was traveling this route...

    Ag issues breed discontent in heart of Bush country

    Let's not get away from the topic: The Buschhhhhh Whacker is a "Paul Harvey" politician---- sell out to the highest offer. Not to mention a very lame duck president.

    Montana Governor orders Inspection of Canadian Beef

    Remember that then SD Janklow prohibited trucks hauling Canadian hogs thru South Dakota about 8 years ago. They ended up goig thru Minnesota to get south. Maybe Schweitzer isn't that far off track. I would hate to go down in history as the state leader who participated with the USDA in the...

    WHO REALLY WON THE BORDER WAR?

    The packers are the big winners here. Bot cheap Canadian cattle, and sold them into the US market by the box full. Of course, when you have this administration in your back pocket, winning was a given. Those who lost were the producers, be they Canadian or American. The poll shows by 2:1...

    Message to R-calf

    to redriver: as a fellow cattle producer, I felt for the plight of the Canadian cattleman with the border closed. But if that is the best reponse you can muster I will now pledge my efforts to keep the border closed----forever.

    NCBA tells it like it is

    Test it all and label it all, with country of origin labeling. Oh excuse me, I jus thought up a nice acronym---COOL.

    Totally predictable responses to BSE announcement.

    The Buschschsch Whacker couldn't get the border open in March so he had to create a new scheme-Let's just keep testing the same animal until we do something wrong. Johanns says beef is too high. What a couple of mouthpieces. Whose side are these guys on?!?!?!?! Obviously not the American...

    Beef prices too high?

    The BuschschschWhacker couldn't get the border open in March, so now he sends his messenger boy with a different slant on the price of cattle. Perhaps the issue of escalating health insurance should be addressed, or gasoline at 100% increase over the past 2 years needs to be considered. But...

    I'll throw in my $20

    $20---shows how much you think you have to lose. R-CALF supporters have spent more on gas going to the auction to give $500 towards their cause.

    USDA HURTS RANCHERS WITH GAMBLE ON BEEF

    Test it all, label it all. Let the consumer decide, as long as the labeling is correct. Not some situation where the packer is allowed to bring it across and then it becomes US in origin. OOPS, under the present Administration and USDA rules this would never happen!?!?!?!?

    USDA to appeal Montana court decision

    Label it all as to country of origin(where have you heard that before?) If USDA can feel comfortable in the safety of Canadian beef , then USDA should feel comfortable serving Canadian beef in their subsidized school hot lunch program. Let's see how far that goes.

    THE case for private testing

    Could it be that USDA is in the pocket of BIG business and not producers? And oh by the way, money talks. Figure it out boys.

    NMA FILES PAPERS FOR AN INJUCTION

    "Unfair trade", is the cry from NMA. Contending that cheaper beef can be bought, processed in Canada and then sent to the US, they have filed countersuit to overturn ruling by a Mt. FEDERAL judge. I thought the border was closed?!?!?!?! Where is USDA in all this controversy? Ooops, I forgot...
