[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2002"] I posted a lengthy response to this question over at Ranchers.net, might have been you who posted the Q Jon. If not, tracking e-coli is far different from tracking indivdual animals from different countries. The recalls are on batches from the same facility at the same time. Much more beef than is actually contaminated is recalled because it can't be exactly traced as to time of contamination. Some ideas of COOL are great, but the devil is in the details. It might cost more than it helps. It might not help at all, and just take profit from producers. Best case for American producers, it will stop cattle from Canada and Mexico coming in, but we will just sell those cattle to Japan, Korea etc. as beef. American producers will lose the higher dollar export markets and reduce their profitability. Eventually U.S. demand will increase to a point where Canada will be able to ship higher priced beef down to the States and no extra dollars from this beef will go to American producers.
