[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 553483, member: 97"] The USDA should have allowed Creekstone and the other smaller Packers that wanted to BSE test and provide Korea, Japan, and any others that wanted tested beef the tested product they requested back years ago- instead of protecting the Big Multinational Corporate Packers (who weren't set up to test or compete) and ruling that they couldn't....This issue would be all done and behind us if that had occurred- and we'd have had beef of all ages going to the Asian countries for years now... But instead of letting what Free Market system still exists prevail- and provide the customer with what the customer wants- Government forbid the testing...Creekstone won their challenge in court but now the USDA/Justice Dept., still stonewalling for the big packer lobbyists, are appealing the ruling..... :( And now in order to try and slip thru the Korean Free Trade Act- USDA has caved in to Koreas demands- and will ship beef from only under 30 month old cattle... :( Almost back to square one.....
