[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1568190, member: 12520"] Maybe I overlooked it in this thread but I didn't see it discussed. Lots of folks seem to think it's pretty simple to throw a label on something but it isn't necessarily. How are you defining US beef? I can sure understand wanting a label on a piece of meat that came into the US in a package ready for sale to be labelled with country of origin. In fact it bothers me to hear that the "Product of Canada" label is replaced with a USDA label. At least that's what I understand happens. But if you buy a feeder from me in Canada, and feed and process it in the US then that piece of beef is now a product of the USA. That's how all industry works. I would not want "product of Canada" on a food item last processed by a foreign country. If I buy oranges from California and bring them to Canada and turn them into orange juice and ship it back to you full of contaminates I'd bet the good folks south of the line would be right to consider that a product of Canada and take appropriate action. Or what if the calf was born in the US, fed in Canada, slaughtered and processed in the US? Point is it's just not that simple, except in the case of finished product entering the US. Then I can agree 100 percent. [/QUOTE]
