Aren't you counting your chicken before they are hatched? To come out on top you will have to win the trial and any appeals. If you win you will have to live with the consequences of possibably killing any chance of retaining export markets or holding on to domestic consumer demand. As if you win you just proved to the world that the science that Canada used which just happens to be the same science that all countries including the US has used, is wrong and everyone that eats beef anywhere is at risk.  If you don't win and the NMA wins theirs,  R-CALF will have to come up with the money to cover the damages that their injunction and further delay of the border openning caused and that is already in the millions. So how will this put this these few ranchers that band together on top. You win, no exports and a huge damage to consumer confidence in beef WORLDWIDE. You loss, damages to the turn of millions paid to the packers  by a group that hates packers and  that is finding it hard to cover their legal bills now. If these few ranchers were smart they would see this as a dangerous loss loss situation!!!!

The only possible good that could come out of this is we will be rid of R-CALF, Bullard and McDonnell and rest of the misfits. Because they are not going to want to face the consequences of their actions. Maybe they can move to Brazil and start up a chapter of R-CALF there.
