First, when I hear a small packer in NY, that hasn't been a player in the Japanese trade, ships beef to Japan with bone fragments that Japan finds a convenient excuse to end trade, I get suspicous. It seems as likely that Japan paid the processor to include bone as a small processor jumps into the Japanese market and accidentally destroys access. Who knows? Who cares? Fact is, one packer's tort is costing the US cow biz money. The next to last thing I'd support is reducing packer competition, but the last thing I'd support is letting the sloth of a minor player cost the industry money.
I guess I can't understand why the NCBA or RCALF for that matter hasn't publicly criticized the offending packer, and somone somewhere might consider a real class action lawsuit.
