[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 60866, member: 97"] Frenchie- I read your pasting job and don't know what your point is-- Was it that the cow found in Washington originated in Canada?- and to be specific- in the same area of Alberta as the other two Canadian BSE cows- --Or that some of the meat may have made it into the US food chain and was never found? I think that is a complete possibility-- But has Canada been testing all OTM cattle for the last 10 years? NO With the Canada-3 US-0 score for BSE origin cattle, I would give good odds that there is a much better chance that more BSE infected beef has entered the Canadian food chain than the US one---- But then that Canadian beef was probably exported to the US since Canada consumes only about a 1/4 of what they produce---This Canadian beef was then marked with a USDA stamp and passed off and sold to consumers as a US product- That makes this border issue a health issue.....Just because some possible infected meat got into the food chain doesn't mean that we should just throw open the doors and let more in.......... Frenchie- Crazy Horse put a good post on ranchers.net of the stipulations that should be put on the border opening-It also sums up my feelings for reopening the border- Heres his post and my response: Stipulations to be met before resuming imports from Canada. We have to have %75 of our export markets back in place. The difference in currency is equalized somehow, possible with the use of a tariff. No beef from Canada over 30 months in any form until more is known about the cause of BSE. Live imports from Canada are to be branded with an identifying mark. Beef from Canada is to be labeled as a product of Canada to the consumer. This is how it should be and after this is in place - LETS TRADE! -------------------------- Crazyhorse- I don't think the currency one or tariffs will hold up under NAFTA-- but as devalued as the dollar is it isn't that much of an issue anymore.... But I could definitely buy into the rest of the idea- I could support an open border with those restrictions.....I have a couple of Senators I'd like to toss those ideas at..... [/QUOTE]
