mj...NCBA has an enviable track record for honesty and accuracy about the cattle/beef business in general and BSE in particular.
If so, why have they backed away from the resolutions passed at their convention? Why did they stop calling it "North American Beef"?
Was it accurate and honest when Chandler Keys made the statement about Australia "they never meet their quota anyway"?

\rkaiser said:Ate some BSE tested Kobe beef at our Canadian Beef Export Annual meeting last fall. Special permit, but it was here, and I ate it.
Think about the price for a moment and then think about how much of that product would concievably come to Canada or the USA.
It would be bought by RICH YUPPIES heck import it maybe it will thin some of them out..
Tommy, do you miss having Chandler Keys' outspoken manner to use in your attempt to attempts to find fault with NCBA?
He obviously should have used the word rarely instead of never. Overall, the work he did for the organization was exemplary and very well served cattlemen.
Do you believe NCBA coined the term "North American Beef Industry"? I believe it came from people in other parts of the world using that term. The co-mingling of cattle and beef has been relatively seamless for over a century. The sales of US and Canadian seedstock has improved the quality of Mexican cattle, and feeding those cattle in the efficient US feedlots leaves much of the tonnage actually produced in the USA, does it not?
Hat, the checkoff is paid on all imported beef. That is what makes it impossible to discriminate against it with checkoff dollars. Further, if past experience continues in spite of your group pairing up with other anti-beef entities to advertise beef might not be safe, consumers are going to choose the beef they buy on appearance, experience with previous purchases, and PRICE/VALUE perceptions. Just as they do now!
You would know that if you would avail yourself of information about your beef checkoff from your fellow beef producers in your state organization managing it for you.
What articles in BEEF magazine can you demonstrate to be innacurate propaganda for another entity paying them to publish it?
