Jason and Tam are typical of NCBA/CCA sheep...they're brain-washed into believing that their only job is to raise a weaned calf and then let the "experts" take over. What they fail to grasp is that the pork and poultry industry are the "experts" largely in charge of promoting and selling OUR PRODUCT, BEEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was this attitude that had these organizations lay down while these processors took control of the avenues for producers to reach our consumers...and thereby controlling the market! We are sitting in the middle of the largest beef consuming market in the world, yet the major topic here and in the industry is exports...increase USA per capita consumption by 2 pounds and we won't have the beef to export and the demand for live cattle will be through the roof.
