[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 33332, member: 245"] Bez: I think you are talking about Birtle and I have heard that Chisholms have good cattle. I am slowly working toward getting my cattle black, but I'm trying to maintain a recessive red gene in case the market changes its mind about what is popular ;-) . Three years might be a bit of a stretch to hold on for most people. I think the government should build some slaughter plants and get them running as a Crown Corporation and then flip it back to the private sector through a share offering similar to what they did with Manitoba Telecom and Petro Canada. I'm not in favor of government corporations but they seem to be to be the only one that has any money right now. One per province at about $14 million apiece would only be $140 million. Still less than what they've paid out so far and nothing that would benefit the packers. They also should be putting a time limit on the US border opening.
