redriver,

Tone it down and stick around.

Not every American producer supports the lying, backstabbing, isolationist antics of R-CULT. I certainly don't!

Don't paint all Americans with such a broad brush.

But that sure wouldn't stop you from supporting a lying, deceptive outfit like R-CULT that would outwardly claim Canadian beef is "high risk" because they had BSE in their native herd then turn around and claim "U.S. beef is the safest in the world" after we had BSE in our native herd considering that the BSE precuationary measures of both countries are the same.

You bet Robert, pat the Canadians on the back with one hand and hand R-CALF a $50 with the other hand so they can lie about the safety of their beef. What a hypocrite!

Precisely why we don't need this flawed, unjustified law.

That's not true! The latest poll I saw proved the Country of Origin is way down the list of consumer priorities. If that wasn't true, Walmart would not be in the position they are today with their foreign products.

The obvious is that if consumers wanted country of origin, they would be falling all over themselves to buy source verified branded beef products and retailers would be providing them.

1. Consumers aren't asking for it.

2. Most imported beef is blended with our 50/50 trim TO ADD VALUE TO IT. What value does a "BLENDED BEEF" label have? NONE!

Formula and grid pricing may not establish the base price but it establishes price premiums for certain carcass specifications.

Buyers can only buy as cheaply as their competition allows them.

The obvious is that live cattle prices track with boxed beef prices.
