There's still hope, we can make America great again. Mexican ribeyes for $6.00 lb retail, we can't compete with that. Maybe fuel will get back up to $4+ dollars a gallon and things will really get tight.

We can't do anything as cheap as they can . what we can do is not be hypocrites.
Make sure of the products you spend your money on. Make sure who you trade with employees. Make sure of who cuts your grass, who cooks the food at the restrraunts where you eat. Make sure who fixes your roof . make sure who builds your fence. Don't trade with anyone who gives our money or jobs to our competitors.. WE can make America great again

Good post. Where are you from? That sounds solid but ain't happening here and wouldn't want it different when I go to breakfast.

I've expressed my displeasure to NCBA about there stance against COOL. Sometimes I wonder who Colin is working for. But all in all, there a good deal for the cattlemen...maybe. I wonder if the NCBA is still against COOL? It's been almost 20 months now since COOL was defeated, and look at the way the prices have fallen. Maybe NCBA works for the buyers and importers and not the US cattlemen?
Hey, it could be worse. A 500# calf could be bringing $500 like they were back when we got in, instead of $750 like they are right now.
For the record, NCBA lost all of my respect when they sided with the government on NAIS.

It was Canada and Mexico that caused the problems that stopped the bill from passing. There's 15 countries that can legally import beef into the US of A.

Excellent point.
If they will not make the consumer aware of where the foreign beef comes from.
Then maybe the American producer needs to pursue letting the consumer know that their beef is American. The angus producers have sure been successful in labeling their products. Maybe the American producers should take the same path.
Don't need any government intrusion to do that. If you have the quality product put it on the label.
