[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 38802, member: 97"] ccstockfarms So how are these evil people profitting? Did they not bid against the Canadian buyers and feeders to purchase these calves- and give the rancher top going dollar for Canadian calves?-- May have even got the rancher a buck or two more by bidding them up- Did they hold a gun to the ranchers head to make him sell to an R-CALF member? Have they not paid Canadian feedlot operators to feed them? Have they not paid the feed bill to the Canadian grain growers? All this with good old American greenbacks? How are they making huge profits if they are now selling these now fat cattle in Canada? Are they not getting the same price the Canadian feeders get? Funny how for years Canadian ranchers have screamed for the US buyers to come to Canada and spend some of the good US green-real money.--Now all of sudden they are evil and our money is evil. Many Americans have bought cattle and fed them out in Canada for years- sometimes slaughtering them in Canada- sometimes shipping them to the US to slaughter. Pat Goggins has owned cattle in Canada for over 30 years- maybe more. He has probably bought millions $ worth of cattle in Canada. He owns more cattle than you will probably ever see. But since he belongs to R-CALF he is now evil. He probably belongs to about 30-40 other organizations- are you going to boycott all them too. Have you checked out all the American owners of Canadian cattle- You had better- might be some NRA members (and Canadians hate guns), or a Republican, or God forbid a democrat (remember a lot of Democrats voted for COOL). R-CALF is not your problem. You can't blame all your woes on R-CALF. Years ago your country adopted a policy of putting everything into cattle (4 times what you can consume), developing no export market- counting on the US to do it all. Then you got BSE. BSE and USDA policy closed the border-not R-CALF. The border will reopen- and R-CALF will be there to protect our interests on this side of the border- and then you guys up north will all be screaming for more American money!!!! [/QUOTE]
