[QUOTE="ccstockfarms_2003, post: 37857, member: 525"] You all have great points. I believe the same, we sold some fat steers on Tuesday and recieved .65cents per pount for them. If we had a killing plant in Manitoba that was Canadian owned we would have recieved a lot more. As it is any cattle that are finished in Manitoba have to be trucked to Alberta to a "US" owned plant. I think our federal government should stand up and take a damn good look at things and start talking the reality of getting some more Canadian packing plants off the ground. Instead of talking about it they need to get to it. Its very sad to see what is happening. Farms and ranches that people have worked very hard for over the years are disappearing at a rate that is sickening. Something needs to be done to keep us all in business that are affected by BSE. If we were getting a fair price for our young stock we could handle the lower prices for older cattle (cows,bulls). But we cannot give the young ones and the older ones away for prices well below what it costs to raise them. :cboy: Chris [/QUOTE]
