[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1376064, member: 25776"] That is a tough one. Amazing how it affects people. You make an excellent point. It has happened to every other enterprise where people take raw materials and produce something of higher value. In our vocation, we convert grass to a product of higher value. That feeds the need to breed better cattle, that feeds interest in the show business, etc. I tend to agree with you. I can see the part of the business that I enjoy dying on the vine - which is breeding and producing cattle to satisfy those who chase pedigrees and fancy cattle. That market has not suffered as much until lately. The international meatpackers are not going to put premiums on quality. That is a fact Jack. Use your analogy of other business that have disappeared. Everyone suffers a tremendous loss of quality. Just one example, furniture. Today's furniture is shyt compared to what it was when quality furniture was made in the USA. [/QUOTE]
