Hat: "Please enlighten me how FTA's with Australia, South America, Canada, and Central America are going to make me more money as a US cow/calf producer."

1. The bulk of our imports from Australia and New Zealand is lean trimmings that are blended with our surplus 50/50 trim TO ADD VALUE TO IT. Imports from Austalia and New Zealand are PRICE POSITIVE for U.S. producers.

R-CULT didn't tell you that did they?

2. South America constitutes a small fraction of our imports making them basically irrelevant at this time.

R-CULT didn't tell you that did they?

3. Canadian beef imports are a deficit but if Canada doesn't export to the U.S., they will eventually absorb that same portion of our export market. What have we gained then? NOTHING!

R-CULT didn't tell you that did they?

4. Mexico? When R-CULT was filing a dumping case against Canada, Mexico was filing a dumping case against the U.S. Prior to the recent BSE situation, we exported more dollars worth of beef and beef products to Mexco than we imported.

R-CULT didn't tell you that did they?

5. For the previous 7 years prior to the border closing we exported $1.3 "BILLION" dollars more beef and beef by products than we imported. That adds about $28 per head to your cattle. That's why NCBA is focused no normalized trade while your beloved R-CULT is lying about the safety of Canadian live cattle that are now coming down in boxes and jeoprodizing our export markets in the process.

So much for your theories on free trade agreements huh?

If you think you can refute anything I have presented here, BRING IT HAT!

When you stop listening to R-CULT and do your own research you will find out how badly you are being misled.
