[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 38809, member: 97"] Frenchie Please explain to me how they are making all this money on these deals. If the packers hate R-CALF so bad do you think they are really giving them special deals? Could be happening, but I doubt it. Do you mean speculating on the futures market? If so you are giving R-CALF much more credit than they deserve- they definitely don't control the futures market. I have more worries about USDA leaking info that speculators are profiting on. I don't know anything about front men- If you mean using cattlebuyers, thats how most of these guys buy- most feeders down here use orderbuyers- few see the calves until delivered and usually when they buy them you are not aware who has bought them- a lot of times its a corporation name- many times the owner doesn't even sign the check or bank transfer- its an employee- In the case of Goggins- I can think of 7 corporations he's CEO or officer of- Probably 20 more I don't know about. Get me some names of some of these supposedly many cattle owners- like I said many Americans have owned cattle in Canada for years. I keep hearing about all these evil Americans- but nobody has any names. One feeder up there Paskal, is making all the stink- makes me think the Americans must have beat him out on the bid. The 4 x was a figure I got off an Agriville post- that only 25% of Canadians beef is used domestically- so I have no verification on that. And I'm glad there is a Canadian that has guns- with the gun laws you have up there you'd think nobody wanted them. Back in my Sheriffing days, you could be working a drug case with the Mounties and you still couldn't take a gun or ammo (and God forbid if you had dum-dums- Canadian for hollowpoints -or armor piercing) north- without applying for a trip permit 6 months in advance and then you still couldn't pack it- just put in a locker when you get to your destination. I was working with a Mountie out of Lethbridge one day and asked him if he had an extra piece in case we ran into trouble. Not only did he not have an extra one- he didn't have one---- couldn't remember if he'd left his pistol in his desk drawer or his briefcase- hadn't wore it for a month--but he did have a set of handcuffs. Frenchie- As I said in another post- I think the border would be open if the enactment of the COOL law (supported by R-CALF) hadn't been postponed- just my feeling. The consumer groups screaming against the safety of Canadian beef, wouldn't have an argument- consumers would know where their beef they purchased came from and could choose--Also all live Canadian cattle would be being branded so they could be identified if they got into the American herd.
