Tommy- agree with your last post whole heartedly. Feel for our Canadian neighbors. Test 'em all and let the consumers and trade partners decide.

As far as our Canadian neighbors, that $200 per head to winter their cows is about $200 more than any US rancher will get this year to winter his cows.


I'll make you a deal. You give me back all the money I lost when the US illegally closed its border under the NAFTA agreement and you can have all those big cheques that I got from the government to help me through BSE. Deal?

BMR...I am happy for you Tommy if your a player like Pat who's own secreatry describes him as a man with millions of dollars and thousands of head of cattle. Congrats to Pat he might lose some money but noy likely the home place when all of R-CALF's muck they have spread comes home to haunt the Grassroots cattleman.

I am a small rancher who also does custom hay baling, that is all. You were the one who called Lloyd and Pat and others like him dirt, I take exception to that. It just gets under my skin that we cannot have an honest disagreement without someone calling someone a name or saying bad things about them.
I feel bad for the Canadians who have suffered over this BSE issue, but I do not want to risk our market if Canada ships us BSE. Test them all and label everything from Canada so consumers would know the difference.


Tommy read it again. I didn't call Pat and Lloyd dirt. I said if they are Grass root producers what does that make the rest ,dirt? the guys that do there own chores, custom bale to make owning a baler fesable. the guys when these big guys manipulate the market get hurt. I understand the these guys are successful and good for them but for everyone of them there are 100's that are living a fine line and need everything they can make to keep going. Those are the ones I see really hurt "IF and WHEN" BSE is found in the US. Because R-CALF has so sensitized the consumer to BSE when as a health risk it is not a danger. Cowboy

I find it humerous to see many (even Canadians) say "IF" BSE is found in the US. It is not a question of IF because it already has been found and the Japanese and many others know it. The question is WHEN will the next one be announced and WHEN will the first NATIVE born case be found. I think the USDA and those who will actually be making the decision on the border reopening believe that as well.

PPRM- My wife thru it together, with some help from Macon, while she was laid up after her hip replacement surgery-- Finally got it updated a little with the new colts- Going to try and take some to a horse sale in April, so needed to get them on the site......

You would not believe the people I've met from the site- even found relatives in Nevada and England that I didn't know existed.....

Heck, if folks will admit to being related, I always take that as an indication of doing something right, lol.

Which Horse Sale in April? I will probably be taking some photo's of mine just out of general interest. Nothing for sale, usually makes them woth more you know, lol.

The local yards is putting together a horse sale April 21 after the McRae and Wittkop bull sales- I don't know what they'll get for consigments, but I took them in a list of at least 8 I'm selling- mostly 2003 and 2004 foals...

I've just lost all my help- all graduating and moving away... I used to keep 2 or 3 of each age to ride and that way had a little of everything around for sale- but any more with just me, a lot of times I can't keep them all worked......

I thought it was kind of fitting and ironic that she planned this sale at the same time as McRaes sale- since all my mares go back to an old Ross mare sired by Charley Duster, a stallion raised by Charlie McRae.......
