The country had previously been the third-largest market for U.S. beef. </blockquote> n nMore good news for the US beef industry. I am glad to see this. Now if the meat packers don't screw it up we can regain consumer confidence in Korea just like we are working on in Japan. n nI like to tell people that all of our products and business will go through three phases. There's vision, patience, and execution. Steve Ballmer
