OT...  History reminder...   It's not like Canada just dropped the Crow Rate on a whim.  The death of the Crow Rate happened for only one reason..  it was to placate the American grain farmer in the pre NAFTA negotiations.  The results for the Canadian grain farmer was freight rates that were sometimes higher than the value of the grain. 


Where was that grain to go?  Into cattle, that's where.  If you had oats worth $1.00 a bushel, and freight was $1.75, what would you do? 


I  bet you'd raise cattle.  Especially if the alternative is bankruptcy.


What animal is usually the product of a ranch?
