NW Cattlemen Oppose Border Plan

NW cattlemen oppose USDA border beef rule
Issue likely focal point of meetings

EAGLE POINT, Ore. - Reopening the Canadian border to most live cattle shipments is drawing opposition from mainstream cattlemen in addition to R-CALF.

Sharon Livingston, president of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association, said both her organization and the neighboring Washington Cattlemen's Association "are not in agreement" with the U.S. Department of Agriculture rule published Jan. 9. She also pointed out the rule is counter to current National Cattlemen's Beef Association policy.

Speaking at the annual meeting of the Jackson County Stockmen's Association, Livingston said the stumbling point is restoration of beef export markets. They were closed first to Canadian beef in May 2003 and then to U.S. beef in December of that year when bovine spongiform encephalopathy - commonly known as mad cow disease - was confirmed on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border.

Both state cattle associations and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association a couple of years ago passed policy opposing resumption of live cattle shipments from Canada until the U.S. regained its key Japanese export market. Oregon policy also made reference to South Korea.

"Korea is really messing with our minds," Livingston said of the strict import inspections that rejected all three initial U.S. beef shipments delivered in late 2006. The Japanese export market had resumed a few months earlier.

The Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America fought the first USDA rule, opening the border to cattle under 31 months of age. The USDA won an appellate court decision, with feeder and slaughter cattle shipments starting in July 2005. That lawsuit is still in court as R-CALF holds its annual convention this week in Denver.

Livingston was on the telephone with WCA officials this week trying to work out a position on both the USDA proposed rule and NCBA policy. The mainline cattle organization is sure to tackle the older Canadian cattle question at its Nashville, Tenn., convention in early February.

The USDA is talking comment on the older-cattle rule through March 12. A full copy of the regulation and the USDA risk assessment are on the Internet at www.aphis.usda.gov.

I say keep the border closed, too many violations of policy,now we have an incident where 7 head of cattle showed up in a feed lot with canadian tags but no brand,and canada refusing to cooperate in this investigation.
I believe it was about this time last year a couple canadians were stopped on the US side of the border with a trailer full of illegal cattle.............good luck

Your' right Haymaker - In fact all Canadian Cattle producers should be thrown in Jail for scewing with America, and all Canadian Cattle should be rounded up and shot. Maybe you should even ask GW if he could send a couple of nukes north. What good are those damn Canuckleheads anyway.

You are a prize Haymonkey - good luck

No, we don't want to nuke Canada - too many good fishing holes. We can jail the men, but not the women - I saw more than one hottie the last time I was in Winnipeg.

I have said this many times,everytime it looks like there may be a break in the border issue,someone does some thing stupid,it's nothing personal but until there is complete compliance,border really needs to remain closed to live cattle...............good luck

Mrs. Greg -
Randy....missed seeing you at the Bull congress on Sat. nice black bull though

I never know what to expect when someone comes up and recognises my name from one of these chat sites. There are a lot of folk out there who look but don't post. Most are supportive but I certainly expect to be challenged more than once over my somewhat redneck finger dancing.
Thanks for the compliment on the bull. I would imagine old Haymaker would like to blow him up reeeel good, along with anything else Canadian.

I saw some of those :roll: girls that you speak of in Regina last year too Manitoba_Rancher and could have sworn this old koot following them around on his knees had "Haymaker" tatooed just above the crack in his ass. Good Luck all right!

I have a real ugly image ,in my pea brain, of Sandusker standing in the wind, on the corner of Portage and Main, fondling some "Man-Boobs" and haggling over the price. :shock: :shock:
Thanks Chris!!! (is there an emoticon for gagging??) :D :D :D :D :D
