[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 7304, member: 13"] The US doesn't export nearly as much of our beef as Canada did. I think over 90% of US produced beef is consumed inside the US. So all those countries refusing to buy US beef won't hurt us nearly as bad as closing the border to Canda. The fact that the cow was imported, not raised here in the US, may keep some of our export markets open. Prices will drop, but probably not to the extent that Canada has been hit. IMO, this is a wake up call to the beef industry that we need to get a mandatory traceback/ID system in place ASAP. Perception is everything and if consumers don't think beef is safe, they'll eat chicken. [/QUOTE]
