Well, to say the least, I was shocked and dismayed to learn of this dispersal! I have not heard anything definitive about WHY it is occurring, but given the current Political machinations of our "Destroyer in Charge" (Obama), I can certainly understand the consternations that Doug and Sharon HAVE to feel about their future operations!
I feel as though I am losing a part of my beef cattle ethos and philosophy of the Beef Business! I have watched the development of the Stevenson Angus 'Family' almost since it's inception, and certainly would have never imagined that fate would cut into them in such a way.
But, it goes to show what terrible "outside" influences can do to change a seemingly solid interprise by the deliberate actions of a Political Party capitalizing on the apathy of the voting public! The unbelievable results of the current and future TAX problems that this Administration, both Democrats and Republicans in the Congress, have foisted on ALL businesses in the United States is appalling and terrifying. I see this current governmental malaise as "Big Brother" destroying our way of life!
DON'T GET ME STARTED!
