[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1630607, member: 25884"] Part of that was also due to the traveling of so many cattle from US to Canada and/or Mexico ... for feeding and finishing. It benefits both to keep it friendly since there is so much cattle trading back and forth. Ask anyone who lives along the border about selling feeders that go to a farm/ranch/feedlot that is just over the border in another "country" yet they are practically your next door neighbor with most not considering that they are "different" because of the citizenship status. I was in favor of the labeling that would have designated that it was from North American farmers.... however it was proposed. That would have satisfied the trade agreement wording and still given us a "COOL" type label. We should be able to put a " USA" label on stuff that is truly raised here.... like stuff that is locally born and raised. But as with the stupid regulations that will not allow milk to say it is 96.75 % FAT FREE as whole milk is.... like all other beverages and foods that are "this % fat free" and all that ..... we are not allowed to actually say that our locally processed meat is from USA .... yes we can put our own labels on it... but the USDA regs require some wording and refuse to allow other wording....
