[QUOTE="Chuck, post: 55574, member: 579"] This post is mostly from a PM I sent to another user last night. He asked me to repost my thoughts here. Sorry for the repetition of what others have said since. If you are offended,sorry-get over it. Happens to me all the time. Some of us must live in a hollow tree. There are some here that think the public will buy your beef,raised the way you want to,no matter what. If they don't-screw em' Some want an exemption because they only have a few cows. Try taking an interest in the industry that provides at least a small part of your living. Some say they knew nothing about this-didn't know it was coming. There is NO reasonable excuse for this. Even if you don't read everything on this board there are plenty of other places to learn what is going on in YOUR industry. Beef,Drovers,The High Plains Journal and a lot of other publications are out there and many of them are free. They have all had articles about this in them. I just got an offer to renew the HPJ for what figures out to be about 80 cents a week. Not a huge investment. I agree with Campground that the government will probably screw this up,but who else can possibly put it together and make it work. I don't see a voluntary system working-everyone has to use it and it has to have penalties for trying to fudge. The diversity of opinions on this board alone says no cattlemens group will ever agree on anything,let alone be able to operate it. This business is no different than any other,if your customer demands something that you refuse to provide,you will not have that customer for long. Especially if the guy down the road is willing to meet that demand. [/QUOTE]
