Tam said:How would you know if R-CALF would be a factor or not? You said you didn't know anything about R-CALF and you just proved it by your statement here. As R-Calf was created to stop trade with Canada long before Tyson was ever in the Beef Business.Econ101 said:Tam, you will find out one day.
In the mean time, I wish you would get the global perspective that Robert Mac is talking about. Rcalf would not even be a factor without the numerous violations of the law by Tyson and their ruthless business practices that the regulatory agencies in the USDA have either corruptly or incompetently allowed to happen and in the Pickett case, the 11th circuit rubber stamped.
You need to stop defending them as they are the ones who gave rcalf their start by their abuses.
The strategy you have embarked on of blind packer backing has only brought more strength to rcalf in the midwest.
Are you telling me that rcalf was formed in response to the things Oldtimer brought up with cattle trade with Canada (bluetounge and stuff)? Maybe we should look into those policies and see what went wrong. Why did rcalf get so big? Did the SSGA have poor policies that allowed rcalf to grow?
