[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 689488, member: 7509"] Lack of labeling is not on your list. That is my biggest concern. Why is it that most other items need to be identified as to where they come from but not beef? There is a wide variety of quality of imported products brought into this country. Some good, some bad. We can think of many recent examples both ways. Why is it we are afraid of letting the enduser know just where his beef came from? Some retailers now have two different meat cases. Hy-Vee (one of the stronger, growing food retailers) stores in Iowa for example have there lower cost beef case and then they have "Amana beef" which is locally (Iowa) produced beef. Having two separate meat cases in itself is certainly an indication that HY-Vee feels there is a market for a higher quality (you can look at it and see that), SOURCE IDENTIFIED, and premium priced beef. We have cattle producers from all over the world posting here. Most of us, by the fact we are on this board, probably care about our livestock and try to produce a quality product. Why not identify our own product through labeling? We as consumers have a right to know where our beef comes from. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
