[QUOTE="S.R.R., post: 355081, member: 1442"] As expected, the World Organization for Animal Health's (OIE) Scientific Commission cited the U.S. and Canada in the first group of countries to be classified as "controlled risk" for BSE; a final ruling from OIE is expected in May. This should help the two countries in their efforts to regain lost export markets. It also should weaken the effort of those hoping to bury USDA's plan on "over-30" cattle. With so many significant factors impacting our market, all the attention on the Canadian border issue is almost mind-boggling. Ethanol is just one issue that, according to current projections, will cost the industry tens of billions of dollars over time. Yet, it seems to inspire little grassroots interest in how it all plays out. Meanwhile, mention a USDA rule to reopen trade with Canada, which follows international guidelines and would allow the U.S. to halt its loss of slaughter-cow capacity, and it inspires a lot of passion on both sides of the issue. -- Troy Marshall [/QUOTE]
