What a pain IN the NECK ,Not a very good system for getting your animal BACK.Sure wouldn't work for sick animal tracking,just too slow.
Tam "Will the beef label mean anything to the respondents if you can't even prove who the producer was or if he practices humane treatment of animals. You have no system in place to do that, R-CALF got M"ID" taken out of M"COOL". "
Sorry, thought that what you were saying with R-calf taking M'ID' out of Cool that they would not be able to prove the producer was practicing humane treatment of animals. Maybe you could clear up your meaning. I posted it right above this one. Thanks.

demand for a product (nothing new here). So far as I can tell there isn't a lot of reason that consumers would look for country of orgin labeling as it isn't being marketed, except until recently with the launch of a campaign started by SDSGA. Not jumping on any bandwagons here, but if you market it, consumers will look for it.

And most consumers still believe the fraud perpetrated by the USDA, packers and retailers, and totally backed now by NCBA members... that the USDA stamp means a US product-- Many have no idea that the US- a huge beef producing country- would import beef from foreign countries.....Especially now in a time of War when we are so concerned about our food products being contaminated and safety to consumers....

Oldtimer I was at a US meat counter today and I notice one thing and that was that none of the meat in the counter had a USDA stamp of any kind on it. You want all of us to believe that a big fraud is being petpetrated but how many other store are like the one I was in that doesn't have any label other than the store label?

What country were you in, Tam?
PORKER said:In the central part of Alberta. I do know that the vet in our area is so busy euthanizing old, sick, downer cows for BSE testing, he hardly has time to look after any live cow problems. ***************They should be using the German live BSE blood test and if the animal was still saleable their would not be a LOSS of meat.
Sandhusker said:BMR, "Hey Sandhusker you need to clean those glasses baby. She said "Oldtimer I was at a US meat counter today " Wouldn't that mean the USA "
So the US meat counter she was at is selling beef without the USDA label anywhere? That is against the law.
