Why don't I ever read anything about all the feeders comming into the U.S. from Mexico? There is a feedlot 40 miles south west of me that feeds thousands of them.

No Mexicans on here to pick on like the Canucks :wink: :lol: Maybe they can't afford computers....
Buyer, is that a new situation in your area? How do those numbers of feeder cattle coming into the US from Mexico compare with five years ago? Ten years ago? Have the breeds changed any in that time? What are the numbers of seedstock going from USA into Mexico in the same time frame?
We know feedlot people who have fed thousands of them in the southwest, and we recall that there used to be many thousands of them brought into even some of the northern states and run on grass then sold to feeders all over the mid-west. I really wonder how the numbers today compare with that, though I realize the cattle may be more or less going right to the feedlots and bypassing the stocker operations the calves formerly went to in WY, SD, CO, NE, or other states.

Actually R-CALF has been arguing and fighting against the Mexican cattle for several years...In fact in 1998 they filed a trade "dumping violation" against Mexico about the same time they filed against Canada- ITC ruled against them...

I had a roomate in college who was from Laredo. He had some very, very wealthy "Mexican" friends that you could not tell they had any Mexican blood in them. The mothers would go to Mexico to have their kids so they could hold onto their estates they owned down there better.

OT- IS there any country that is connected to the US that R-calf actually has anything good to say about? Ive talked to a few US ranchers who feel R-calf is no more than a joke!! 8)

MRJ No this is not a new situation here. But I do think it has picked up I can't give you any numbers. I do have a friend that might know he's on the beef board. I know one outfit that sold 4000 cows and are going to run Mexican feeders.
Bill, No the Mexican cattle I have looked at are not as good to mixed up yet. But they are buying better seed stock.
