[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 623557, member: 8978"] I went to a meeting last night where they were discussing the cattle crisis in Canada(and the US). It was put on by the NFU and there was a good turnout. The presentation was good and the picture they painted wasn't complete doom and gloom. The one thing they stressed was the need to end captive supply and the hope that President Obama would move in that direction. Our politicians in Canada are so spineless they won't do anything unless the US does it first! They also backed COOL for both the USA and Canada and the need for Canada to quit relying on US markets. I guess we are rapidly approaching the point where we will not need to export any cattle but will need to make sure the government only lets imported beef in that meets the same standards that Canadian beef is expected to adhere to. The other thing they stressed was the need to limit the Cargill/Tysons control of the packing industry so they can't dominate the market. Ranchers Beef near Calgary was basically run out of business by predatory marketing from one of the American packers! [/QUOTE]
