Once again, your reading comprehension problem rears it's head again.


Where did I go on and on about competition driving price IN CANADA????


I said Cargill and Tyson are in competition with eachother.  If that was not the case, your prices would be lower than they are.





I have already shown you the definition of "blame".  Why would you ask for the definition again?


Ooops, forgot!  Reading comprehension problem.





Why should I?


You are the one having a problem with what he said not me.  Agman has proven the accuracy of his information over and over.  I don't need to challenge it.





Unbelievable!


I just dedicated an entire post to this very issue and presented 9 examples of where I stated that very same thing and somehow you still think I don't understand it.


Excuse me while I bang my head against the wall!





My own theory?


You and I have stated the exact same thing.  I stated it 9 times in this thread and presented those statements in a single post and you still think I don't understand the situation? 


Canada had more cattle than slaughter capacity clearly placing the leverage in the packers favor.  There, that must be about the 12th time I stated it.


Ross Perot: "Are you getting this?  Am I going too fast?"



This issue is really simple.  BSE was discovered in Canada.  USDA closed the border based on food safety concerns and R-CALF filed an injunction to keep the border closed based on import concerns.  The border should be open now but it's not.  The packers in Canada were faced with a situation of more cattle than slaughter capacity which allowed them to pay less for cattle.  What's not to understand?


My point is that it does no good to bench about the packers taking advantage of this situation when they did nothing illegal.  Nothing that you would not have done if you were in their shoes.


Your point is that you have been hit hard financially and you feel you have the right to blame packers for it.


You see value in blaming packers and I don't!


That's where we differ!




The part of this issue you are dead wrong about is assuming that the packers wanted the border closed and are working to keep it closed.  The opposite is true.  Not only do they want the border opened to live cattle under 30 months, they want the border opened to slaughter cattle as well and even filed suit accordingly.  You will not be able to argue this point because I am right and you are wrong.  I presented the facts to support my position (AMI's suit against USDA, closed plants in Washington) and you presented nothing more than a conspiracy theory.
