[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 24011, member: 245"] I'm a little upset today. This BSE thing in Canada has dealt a pretty serious blow to the cattle industry up here as we export about 60% of the beef we produce. There have been alot of bankruptcies and a few suicides of some of the big producers. Finally, the government steps in and offers a little help. About $20 Canadian a head, which is about enough to buy 1/2 a round bale of medium quality hay. This is supposed to prop us up after almost a year of feeding cattle with no market. The CCA has lobbied for this for several months. We were pretty happy when we heard this was coming because even though it is pretty inadequate, it will help some of our producers hang on a little longer. This morning this R-CALf is threatening to sue our governement for unfair subsidies to our beef industry. I've been on this board for awhile and watched it for longer, from what I've seen, with the exception of a few socialists, most of you seem to be of a similar political bent to me. I can't imagine the Canadian Cattle Association ever threatening to sue the American government if you guys were in this same position. Does this R-Calf represent a majority of American Producers?
