Japan is taking US beef again. Oh and does your wage rise and fall with the fat cattle prices. Do you get 20% less when they fall from $1.00 to $0.80?"
You're right, BRM, R-CALF was wrong to take USDA to court. It would of been much wiser to sit on our hands and let them put our entire industry at risk for the benefit of Cargill and Tyson. We should be mindless yes-men.
My wage doesn't rise and fall with calf prices. That doesn't matter. If prices stay too low for too long, I won't have a wage.
You are on another thread telling us how we should work together with R-CALF to stop captive suppies ect. Well R-CALF should have thought of that before they alienated Canadian producers with Anti- dumping lawsuits and Ads that claimed all Canadian beef was tainted. We work with our legislators and have a good repore with them because we don't threaten and don't go to them always asking for something/ They ask us what they can do for us and we give them the message to stay out of business and let the market work.
