[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1449932, member: 4362"] I'm not for COOL. I'm not for any additional government regulation or new taxes for that matter. What would really help cattlemen is deregulation. Get the federal government out of local meat processing and let's give the states the authority to set the standards of in state butchering and sales of beef and lets go back to the way it used to be before the federal government got involved and "helped us" and put all the small butchers and processors out of business. Prior to their meddling we could slaughter and sell our animals locally without all the BS. This created local skilled jobs and the consumer actually had a choice. Anyone in favor of more regulation must have a higher degree of trust of the federal government than I do because I think the federal government has proven time and time again that they could screw up a wet dream and if you think that COOL will do what you think it will I think you must be delusional because the lobbyist will soon have us all working for the company store if we don't get our states' rights back when it comes to processing. Truegrit, consider your cattle probably have 2000 miles of freight on them before the meat reaches the consumer. Just think what you could do with the money saved from this if you could sell them locally without the BS. [/QUOTE]
