[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 354667, member: 97"] rainie-- The North American herd idea is the biggest joke in the country...Prior to BSE there was a Canadian cattle herd and a US cattle herd and Canadians called "ALL US cattle diseased" and had the Canadian government quarantine and restrict their movement into Canada to protect the Canadian cattle herd and the economic vitality of Canada's sheep and cattle industry--but then after the BSE outbreak in Canada closed the borders, Canadians (and the Packers) wanting to open the border to their only export market, started spouting this "North American herd" term....It won't fly to those that actually know what was going on.... Canada used a quarantine to keep Anaplas/Blue tongue out- OK--But now that we in the US want to use a quarantine to keep higher risk BSE cattle/beef from being imported and raising the risk factor to the US consumer, US cattle herd, and long term economic viability of the US cattle industry- and Canadians cry and whine about it... But I do agree with you about the Packers aims with South America- they are spending $Billions buying ranches, feedlots, and slaughter houses there...That is why I believe we (US and Canada) need Mandatory Country of Origin, and now- before they get the access to that beef, so that we can identify our product, promote our product, and keep the Packer Mafia from importing in this cheap South American beef and passing it off to US and Canadian consumers as a US or Canadian beef...
