Should the US border open or remain closed to Canadian Live cattle?

I say do what is best for the U.S.A. ranchers and farmers. Whatever that is.
There has been lots of dollars spent in Canada on seedstock and it seems like they think all of their troubles are our fault. As an American I personally don't feel too responsible.
While I believe what you say it seems logical to me if it was that simple there would be a trail a mile wide where the Canadian packers ran to our side of the border and set up several packing houses in America to buy Canadian beef. Lots of things seem clear CRR but at the time it wasn't as cut and dried as it now seems in retrospect.
But, I agree, there were union problems that also lead to the plants not being competitive
