[QUOTE="Texan, post: 47502, member: 416"] Ollie, I think the main reason we don't see it now is because there's no standard to source verify at this time that would suit the government and consumer groups. If the packer and retailer tried to advertise something like that, the first thing that would happen would be the "prove it" challenge. How can they do that at this time? It seems to me like its going to take some front money at some point to get it started. As a producer, I don't want to cough it up. The feeder is probably fixing to drown in his own blood anyway, so he's not gonna want to do it. We know the packer and retailer aren't going to spend any money unless they have to. I would expect them to be content with the status quo until they see the color of money. So........who's money? I still say if its something of value to the consumer, the consumer should pay for it. It easily could be. Seems like they are a lot further down the road to source verifying than the commodity beef, in general. Makes me wonder why some of them like CAB/CHB/Laura's haven't already gone the extra steps to verify origin if there is really any money in it. [/QUOTE]
