AMEN- and I don't agree with Mike often  :wink: We've spent 7 years trying to open up the Asian markets with the "NCBA's best science bullshit"-which most of the world- and especially the countries that have had people dying from vCJD--don't widely accept (Japan/Asia is the best example)..

So 7 years later we finally have forced upon those foreign governments thru Trade reprisals to take our product- or else-- but we still haven't proven to those consumers that our beef is safe.....

I read yesterday the T bones are finally going to South Korea- but that its unknown if they will be accepted.....

Maxine- I wonder how long ago it would have taken the Japanese and Asians to even allow our products (they haven't been accepted by the consumers yet )-- IF NCBA and the multinational packers (that were profitting off their foreign investments)  hadn't stood in the way of Creekstone/etal from testing those products (both US and Canadian) designated for those  markets- and had allowed a "true fair" market system and fair trade to exist...... :???:
