[QUOTE="Michelle Pankonien, post: 39426, member: 147"] OK I got through that long first post I don't belong to either assn. BUT I am for free trade and for being able to export US Beef all over the word I believe in order for us to be able to do this we also have to be willing to allow beef to be traded here as well DONT Get Mad "listen I also believe that any beef traded here, should comply with our hard core health standards, which they currently DO NOT, cattle from Mexico come here, and they are riddled with disease and they also do not nessessarily comply to our feeding limitations, granted their poor economy does not really alow them to afford to suppliment cattle with anything and they are in poor BCS when they come over, but still, any country wanting to import beef better have the EID tagging system in place for herd identification and traceability, and I can only see Canada as currently the only country ready to meet those standards, but I do think anything over 24 monthes should be banned from trade commerce and should be sold only in Canada, to Canadians, not shipped here to threaten our beef industry we produce the most high quality, grade of beef in the world, Listen, it is true, Yep, Japan has Wagu, but in small quantities, we produce more from one state than they do in the whole country, so we have a huge market to them alone for high grade beef, a boone for top end producers, yep the Angus guys can laugh all the way to the bank, but for others, yeild and Choice grade is still awesome for most international beef trade Looking at beef production all over the world, we have one major advantage, we out produce grain crops ovr every country in the world, thus we finish our cattle on better quality feed, which yeild as better product, Grass fed beef is fine, if thats your thing, it is not mine, but to each their own. I won't bash R-Calf I think competition is great for everyone, and multiple organizations fighting just helps keep every one in check, over the yeirs there may have been some corruption going on in the NCBA, I don't know, but when a group takes in that much money, I'll bet there are more than a few taking treats from the cookie jar, the R-Calf group is not taking $$$ from you for the sale of each calf, so I fail to see how they are a liberal group, democrats are the ones who support taking money for their appropriation to their stuff, or at least that is how I look at it, in the past years I have felt there has been a great deal of waist with the check off dollars, and I have seen many state and national organizations loose market share due to over billingt (charging) with continued annual increases due to their lack of abbility to control spending or rather continue to give people raises that don't really deserve it like congress they control their own sallary with no accountability, just irritates me [/QUOTE]
