Natural or Organic
I've had quite a few people here on the net tell me the way I should be going to make money is to raise natural beef or organic beef. I always say I have looked into the issue and don't see how I would make any money that way. In fact, I see that I…

Border Ruling

The <acronym title="United States Department of Agriculture, Bought and Paid for by The Big Meat Packers">USDA</acronym> <a href="http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?contentidonly=true&contentid=2007/09/0247.xml">has approved</a> the import of Canadian cattle over 30 months of age into the US.

Curiosity
I would really be curious to know the whole story <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/edmonton/story/2007/08/17/beef-closure.html">here</a>. We cattlemen were being told a couple of years ago that packing plants in Canada would hurt US packing plants and start a trend which would require us to ship fats to Canada to be butchered there. I personally thought it was a…

Progress
It looks like the beef industry might be making progress in Japan. The Japanese government might be thinking about <a href="http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20070805a3.html">upping the age limit for imported beef</a> from 20 month to the more generally accepted 30 month age limit. There is still one little hurdle to go through, the Food Safety Commission, and there is…

Cheap And Tasty
It appears that the South Korean government is a little out of touch with its people when it comes to US Beef. The Government has been fighting to keep US Beef out for a long time now but the door is finally cracked open and what has happened? The stores <a href="http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200707/200707160009.html">sold out of the…

I've been staying out of the recent fray about <acronym title="Country of Origin Labeling">COOL</acronym> being waged by <acronym title="National Cattlemans Beef Association, shills for the big meat packers">NCBA</acronym>, AMI, R-Calf, and <acronym title="United States Cattleman's Association">USCA</acronym>.

Step Forward
Beef trade with Japan has taken a <a href="http://www.brownfieldnetwork.com/gestalt/go.cfm?objectid=2692EC9E-D863-3BFE-F4544C0BDA405F1C">big step forward</a>. They have given 35 beef plants a clean bill of health which will stop 100% inspections of imports in Japan and they will scale back to only random checks. This is a good step, now to work on getting them to accept something other…
