MRJ-- Been too busy moving cows and working fences to answer your post of last week calling me corrupt, since you posted I must be corrupt since I'm an ex Sheriff, ---- a brand inspector and a Judge and I do not agree with the same ideology that NCBA's leadership has been perpetrating (if anyone knows what that is) but I do have a little time tonight.....Don't know which of the above reasons makes me corrupt since if you look back at the post I didn't call anybody corrupt, but questioned the idealogy of NCBA's President........

Anyway I sometimes have the same feelings about bank owners- but suppress them-wouldn't be right to criticize a person just because they have enough money to have an ownership in a bank, would it?....Criticize me all you want by name- but please hold back on the positions I hold..... When you criticize them you criticize the people that have appointed or elected me to represent them and that bothers me....None of these positions were "bought" into........

The criticisms against NCBA I posted were what I thought the local feelings would be--And I think I'm right, nobody knows where NCBA even sits now- and the membership recruitment show of last week left everything even more in question ....I have had a chance to talk to several local producers and NCBA members since then- and I still say the same thing-- most have no idea where Stokes and the Texas President are coming from in their speaches (smartest thing is they left Stokes off the TV show)-- it wasn't what came out of the convention the first of the year.....There is a feeling that the Texas feeders and packers are overiding the NCBA total membership wishes-- that and the NCBA's amicus filings against the R-CALF suit will not help the NCBA in one bit--most I hear say, let it go to trial and let a Judge decide.... several members I talked to that had repaid dues now think they have got the snowjob- for the last time.........
