:shock: WOW OT!! :shock: You know of secret organizations with the Packers!!! WOW!!! You are so smart and know soooooo much....sooooooo....give me a couple names of the "secret organizations" and I will be sure to research it :!: :!: :!:

Well their latest backdooring name was posted on here earlier--Its got some huge long name- maybe Sandhusker or one of them guys can remember it...Anyway- after the NCBA and Packers came to an agreement with the Congressmen on a M-COOL law in the Farm Bill- and all promised they would not fight or oppose it as written-- NCBA again joined with the Packers and went behind the backs of everybody and formed this fancy named group to try and kill/change M-COOL--- which like I said- really doesn't suprise me because their word has been worthless for a long time in my view.......

Fine and dandy, OT. I don't attend this Bull session very often, do you think you could find this fancy group's name for me? I will be happy to make a few phone calls :!:

There is the group Hanta- the Meat and Poultry Coaltition...This came after the groups and Congressmen all met- came up with a consensus agreement that all the groups agreed to honor regarding M-COOL- and then to get around their (word :roll: :???: ) NCBA joined in with this packer outfit to lobby against it...

A person expects these type actions from the Multinational Packer Mafia types- but not from whats supposed to be a cattlemans group...But from years of experience, I know NCBA long ago sold their souls- and forgot any bit of "the Code of the West"...

Now Hanta- you prove to me that NCBA money, out of one of their 100 different slush funds, is not going into this coalition and that NCBA leadership isn't part of it......

NCBA Partners with Packers Yet Again to Oppose

Market Reforms That Would Benefit Independent Producers



Washington, D.C. Its dÃjà vu all over again. In July, the National Cattlemens Beef Association (NCBA) teamed up with the multinational meatpackers in an effort to derail country-of-origin labeling (COOL), although at that time, NCBA chose not to disclose that it was a member of the Meat and Poultry Promotion Coalition (coalition), which was formed by the nations largest meatpackers and their trade associations to defeat producer-oriented reforms.


Just this week in a letter to Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee, this coalition encouraged him to withdraw his proposals for competition reform in the livestock marketplace and to drop any plans to include a Livestock Title in the 2007 Farm Bill.


Its no secret that NCBA has long been part of the packer lobby, said R-CALF USA President/Region VI Director Max Thornsberry, a Missouri veterinarian. But no matter how NCBA tries to spin it, this is the group that tried for years to repeal COOL, and also tried to prevent meaningful market reforms that not only would benefit producers, but also the rural communities in which they live.


Now, by officially joining this meatpacker lobby and signing on to this letter, there can be no doubt in anyones mind that NCBA is working against the interests of independent livestock producers, he emphasized.



Other members of the Meat and Poultry Promotion Coalition include Tyson Foods, Swift & Co., Cargill, U.S. Premium Beef, National Beef, Smithfield Foods, Hormel Foods, Hatfield Quality Meats, Christensen Farms, the American Meat Institute, the National Meat Association, the National Pork Producers Council, the National Chicken Council, National Turkey Federation, and the American Foods Group.

From AMI's website:

Coalition member sponsors include the American Meat Institute, National Chicken Council, National Cattlemen's Beef Association, National Meat Association, National Milk Producers Federation, National Pork Producers Council, National Turkey Federation and United Egg Producers.

I see you are using R-Laff press releases again, OT. I find R-Laff difficult to believe, especially when you have your highness, Lord Bullard running the show. Sounds to me Lord Bullard isn't such a nice guy, and when one acts like he did outside of PAYS building I wouldn't have anything to do with any organization with a CEO who acts like this:

Longtime cattle producer Hugh Broadus was accosted by R-CALF CEO Bill Bullard at the Pays Auction Yards in Billings where Hugh had gone to participate in a fundraiser for a soldier serving in Iraq.

Bullard was seen yelling at Mr. Broadus and "shaking and turning blue". The son of the auction yard owner witnessed the altercation and the next day drove to Hugh's ranch (a two-hour drive) to apologize to him for the scene Bullard caused on his property.

Mr. Bullard is a paid employee and such conduct should be grounds for immediate dismissal.

At the Kansas Cattlemen's Association annual meeting, past president Allan Sents asked R-CALF CEO Bill Bullard if he could talk with him. Bullard refused to shake his hand and refused to speak to Sents. Bullard claimed Sents was not worthy of his time. Sents assured Bullard they shared common goals, but Bullard said there was nothing to talk about.

Scary, very scary. This is even more scary:

Dennis,
Do not send me any more emails. Your address is blocked from this point forward. Next time we meet, we will see how a one handed Missourian and a one legged Montanan rumble.

Your CEO and President sure conduct themselves in such a nice manner, people who act this way make their organization unbelievable. Why don't you quit posting from R-Laff press releases and get your information from somewhere else?

So you don't like it when they file a lawsuit and you don't like it when they tell somebody to leave them alone. Maybe they should consult you before doing anything? If you're so unhappy, drop your membership.

Aren't you going to make your phone calls to find out why NCBA is sleeping in the packers bed?

Just like when NCBA went behind everyones backs to partner with the USDA/AMI to make the NAIS plan a mandated law- and in return USDA tryed to give the monopoly control/operation of it to the NCBA....Would have happened too if the independent cattlemen of the country hadn't seen what was happening and rebelled against it- brought the stink of the proposal out into the open and got it aired- at which time both NCBA and USDA had to back off to their current "voluntary" Mandatory ID :roll: But NCBA still went ahead with their partnership with tag and data base companies.....

NCBA will crawl in bed with anyone and do anything for the dollar- or their pimps, the Packers...The reason I've always put the status of the ladies of the evening above that of NCBA member....At least they admit what they are ....

Coalition member sponsors include the American Meat Institute, National Chicken Council, National Cattlemen's Beef Association, National Meat Association, National Milk Producers Federation, National Pork Producers Council, National Turkey Federation and United Egg Producers.

If you're not a member, what concern is it of yours? Don't tell us it is because of your great concern for all cattlemen - if that was the case, you wouldn't be supporting NCBA.

BTW, are you comfortable with them lying AGAIN on the farm bill? Maybe you ought to clean up your own house before assisting a vindictive sore loser throw muck on somebody else's.
