[QUOTE="Amo, post: 1051019, member: 14857"] I didn't mean to hyjack the thread. No I really don't think that PETA, HSUS, & others are getting a whole lot of headway cattle markets. I know one producer in Nebraska that is producing/pushing grass fed beef and is a very vocal member of HSUS. There is another well known producer in Colorado that is a member who is also a member of HSUS and using the natural feeding and humane handling as a way to promote his conception to carcass production to consumers. No not much in the cattle industry and Im not educated enough on the hog industry to discuss much. I do feel that if someone gives them enough money to attack the cattle industry it will happen. Its just a matter of time. Yes niche producers get a premium for what they do & they desirve it. If ballot iniatives or programs like Tysons farm fresh or what ever its called force all of us into mountians of red tape our expenses will go up. Plus if everybody is raising a niche type product it will flood the market and we will have more work with no premiums. If you don't think they are gaining headway, PETA is at our stat fair this week. They couldn't figure out a way to refuse them. HSUS might be as well not sure. The Nebraska segment of National Farmers Union has crawled into bed with HSUS. Im not telling you what side of the issues you should be on, but I think you had better figure it out. Weather they are making headway or not I don't know, but they are talking to the uneducated that will listen to them. I don't believe in giving them any more publicity than we need to. I do think we need to do a better job of educating the uneducated. Its way easier to educate the uneducated than change the minds of the miss informed! Otherwise this will bite us in the butt bigger than ever. Way more than worring about lossing the ability to use anti-biodics/ioniofers, steroids, etc. Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
