[QUOTE="Bez, post: 59988, member: 412"] ollie Your comments may very well be true - however: When I go to the sale barn and see skeletal animals called dairy culls brought in for sale I cringe. If those culls are gone from the face of the earth, then the risk is reduced dramatically. Here is a copy of a posting from another site that details what happens to a cull cow - all breeds - from a person I have corresponded with - and who is in the beef industry: It would probably be a good idea to keep this info on hand to present to others the next time the cull cow being "ground into burger" conversation comes up. You and I - and all who read this - now know what the packers get from a cull - and how they get it. In truth I always thought it all went to burger - was I ever mistaken. Anyone who believes that the old cows are not a potential problem is simply ignoring the obvious. I know that does not include you, or many others on this board. But there are hundreds and thousands out there who will take anything to be killed in the hopes of realizing 50 bucks - and dammed the potential results. Keep them out of the food chain. Fertilizer, pet food and power generation are the only options I find acceptable. Here it is in plain language: 1. No beef cull to ever enter the food chain. 2. No dairy cull to ever enter the food chain. 3. Build our own kill plants. 4. Market our own beef. 5. Test 100% of the animals for export. 6. ALL culls to be composted, processed for dog food, burned for energy, or whatever! 7. If the various levels of Canuck government are serious about value added - then - export NO live animals - [b]process them all in Canada [/b]- value add to OUR economy NOT other economies. Yeah, I know ALL the dammed arguments against my beliefs. But I want a friggin fireproof / bombproof industry. This may not provide all the solutions, but it goes further than what we now have. I think you will be hearing me state this again and again - but that is the way of the future. Off to sulk in the corner while those in power decide whether or not the border opens. I hope it stays closed until our own initiatives are up and running - I want to compete against you folks south of the border because I honestly think we can kick some serious butt if we get everything up and running - I no longer want to be at your mercy. Best to all, Bez [/QUOTE]
