[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 38876, member: 245"] One thing that i know for a fact is that I have much more in common with cattle producers in the US than I do with city people anywhere. My goals are to breathe fresh air, have some space to move around in, and hopefully make a few bucks while I'm at it. It seems crazy to me that we as cattle producers are sniping back and forth over matters like the closed border and the Iraq war instead of trying to find some common ground and make some compromises that work for everybody so that we can just move forward and go back to enjoying our lives. I'm not an R-CALF fan but mostly because of statements like 'Canadian beef is unsafe' when we actually we actually had our feed ban in effect at the same time as the US and our new safety protocols in place before the US. I don't know what amazes me more, the crap that R-CALF tries to pass off as the truth or that there are people out there that are gullible enough to believe it. Oldtimer-I think your view may be a bit skewed on how much beef was actually coming in from Canada being that you live just south of our biggest beef producing province and that will be where the major supply of CDN beef for all of the US would be crossing. I would bet that if you lived in Minnesota, you'd never see a truck. For those of you that think CDN beef affects your supply, we produced 2% of the beef eaten in the US before the border closed.
