[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 48964, member: 220"] Two thumbs up on that news, Frenchie! The more competition the better. The Peace Tender Beef Co-op is slated to go ahead with their opening in northern BC, however still battling it out with CFIA over testing of animals. No faith left in CCA for me. Holdback program a joke. Imagine having to hold your calves for a year and not being able to sell them until then, and getting another bandaid of UP TO $200.00 a head (yeah right, like the $80.00 a head we were supposed to receive last year) to carry those calves for that period of time and make the ranch payments. These programs are not set up for the 95% of producers (people who might keep back 10% of their heifers for replacements and lack the land base, feed, infrastructure and cash flow to utilize that stupid program)...just the 5% big boys that background not only their own calves but hundreds upon hundreds of others. If I sound bitter, it's because I'm so disillusioned about the people that are supposed to be representing the ranching industry and the periphreal businesses that thrive off of them. Honey's parents just sent a liner load of 600 weight calves to Clyde and received $477.00/head after deductions for those excellent Char/Sim calves. Scary times. Honey's cattle come out of pasture on Saturday and mine on Sunday. Will ship early in the week if I can get trucks lined up and a brand inspector booked. No idea how the payments will get made this fall with prices like this. Looking any better at your end of the country? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that the prices are sunnier in your province. Take care. God bless you. [/QUOTE]
