[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 40194, member: 245"] Oldtimer: How would you feel about Canadians bringing finished Canadian cattle down to the US on sealed trucks and using your slaughter plants to kill them. This seems to me to be a reasonable compromise to me. What I do know is that if we build all of this expansion into our slaughter plants in Alberta, you guys are going to lose your slaughter capacity in the northern states because that has traditionally been where our cattle were slaughtered. If they build state-of-the-art facilities up here, as soon as your plants become obsolete, they will be closed. The compromise would keep jobs in the US and allow us to get our cattle slaughtered. The other thing I know is that with world beef prices as high as they are, most guys probably aren't keeping enough replacements to build their herd and here we are with an excess of cattle. I would think we will be in the cat-bird seat when the border opens. [/QUOTE]
