[QUOTE="Beef11, post: 290609, member: 2705"] That scares me when a politcally charged group has a mandatory charge against all cattleman for or against them. I'm not affiliated with either group (NCBA or RCALF) but will someday have to choose where i stand, I may back both sides depending on the issue at hand. I'm of the opinion RCALF should get a say in the checkoff dollar use. I would feel safer knowing that the NCBA and RCALF decided on how it would be used. I don't agree at all with checkoff dollars being used to promonte competitors beef. Are We Stupid? We have to compete with their unregulated production methods no sense in us promoting their product. I personally believe the consumer has a right to know where his meat came from. I am even a fan of knowing by region. The Branded beef programs which are gaining in popularity are proof that the consumer cares. If we want a stronger market for Beef we need to let the consumer know where it comes from. [/QUOTE]
