CDN Eartags

[Northern Rancher]

Wonder how much evidence he 'discovered' over the years don't it. CSI Montana can't even recognize a Maple Leaf on a tag.

I would think as Montana Brand inspector that is responible for herds that pasture next to the international border, he would have been shown a Canadian tag. So if something had wondered across the border, he could identify it and notify someone that he found stray Canadian cattle while inspecting cattle. :roll:

Ain't my job anymore-- If I find strays that I can't identify right away, I call the District man-- he gets paid to do that-- not me...

But Tammy girl--This coming from someone that doesn't know they had bought a contraband cow for how long?-- until they have the cow home and notice the US tag- meaning it was meant for the feeder program and not for seedstock-- I have to laugh... :roll: :lol: :lol:

A lot of Canadian cattle have been found and returned without using any Canuck tag -- just an old fashioned brand.......Canuck Tag wouldn't do any good anyway-- doesn't fit your health criteria for someone from the US to get the info :wink:

We have no reason to see those tags if you just stick them in to sell them- as you're not supposed to be selling them down here on the open market.....

I made a copy of that tag- and showed it to a lot of people...The only one that recognized it right away as a Maple Leaf is a Canadian....From our perspective we seldom see a maple leaf- especially a two sided one...And the widely used abbreviation down here for Canadian is CDN-- :roll:

PS Tammy-- run that cow in the barn if this Black Copter starts circling your place- :wink: :lol:

Talked to HS yesterday and they are interested in tighting the border on any movement of anything including cattle.

Hey Oddtimer we knew where she came from when she was bought. it was advertised on the radio. What we didn't know was that Montana's code was AZ on the tag and that's what we confirmed with the federal vet.
But now I'm not sure cause to listen to you all federal vets lies when questioned about where cattle come from.

But then your bride and a another bunch of goofy Canucks has the gall to jump all over a SD feeder and me when we don't immediately recognize a CA as coming from Canada :roll:

Right there shows it all.......And the stupidity of the Federal Vets that sat the system up....

Well you goofy yankee CA comes alot closer to Canada then AZ does to Montana. And we went to the authorities to check things out before they got to a packer.

since when hasn't it been your job

MRJ: YOU have the form which YOU have filled out, YOU brand the animals, YOU are the brand inspector? YOU are/were the sheriff and judge???????

What is wrong with this picture when we are trying to show consumers they can trust USA produced beef????

MRJ

Oldtimer: Maxine-Tells you that a lot of people think I am honest, trustworthy and capable- including the State Dept. of Livestock, the people of Valley County that elected me, and the Judge of Valley County, along with the Montana State Supreme Court that appointed me... And since you come from an almost no-brand state- and as you yourself admit, aren't up on the details- you may not be aware that Brand Inspectors cannot inspect their own cattle or that of relatives.....

Its a better picture than the one painted by some individuals/organizations that feel it is OK to and openly support defrauding and scamming consumers by relabeling and passing off imported beef to customers as a US product.. It leaves much to question about their character and honesty..

Want to point out where you told MRJ you were no longer a Brand Inspector when she asked you if you were one, on Oct 9, 2006 which just so happens to be AFTER THE TAGS WERE REQUIRED on Canadian cattle?

Oldtimer: A lot of Canadian cattle have been found and returned without using any Canuck tag -- just an old fashioned brand.......Canuck Tag wouldn't do any good anyway-- doesn't fit your health criteria for someone from the US to get the info :wink:

Hey Oldtimer if your State Brand inspector which isn't you apparently, :wink: saw a CCIA tag would he look in the Montana brand book to find the brand or would he just know to contact the Canadian brand inspectors to find out who the brand is registered to and save himself a bunch of time? :? BTW if all you need to return Canadian cattle to their proper owner is the BRAND then why will you be taking the hit from any Canadian cow with a BRAND AND TAG that identify it back to Canada if one happens to turn up positive for BSE in the US? :?

Oldtimer:We have no reason to see those tags if you just stick them in to sell them- as you're not supposed to be selling them down here on the open market.....

Oldtimer every producer that lives along the border that buys cattle will have ID tags in the cattle they buy. So if some of those cattle they bought stray into the US would you not have a reason to see the tags other than them being sold on the open market? :roll:

Tam-- I see Uncle Larry must have got all the common sense in your family :roll: :wink: :lol: :lol:

I am an Inspector-- but I am not the District Investigator...Tracking down/impounding/selling estray animals is their job...If you don't like our system of that either :roll: (which it seems you hate everything America does/has- and want to change everything or tell us how to run the industry even tho you've sold your soul to try and be part of it) then contact my old buddy John Grainger who is the head of the State Brands Division and straighten him out....
