[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1997"] I think consumers do want to know where their food comes from. Now whether they will pay more for US labeled beef is doubtful in my mind. Do they pay more for anything else that bears the MADE IN USA label? Is it going to cost cow-calf producers? You bet. It's going to cost the feeder more to keep those imported animals separate and the packers more to keep the beef from imported animals separate. And neither feeders or packers were asking for this program. So they aren't going to pay for it. I think they'll likely take the added expense out of what they pay you for your cattle. One opinion, for what it's worth. [email=frankie@cattle-today.com]frankie@cattle-today.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
