R-CALF USA Issues Follow-up Letter

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:28:25 CDT

R-CALF USA Issues Follow-up Letter In an open letter to members of the U.S. cattle industry and Rural America, R-CALF USA President/Region VI Direct Max Thornsberry, and R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard said thank you to all who expended your own funds and who took time from your cattle operations and other businesses to participate in the historic August 27 joint competition workshop held in Fort Collins, Colorado. The R-CALF USA leaders called the meeting - the largest turnout of cattle producers at a public meeting in memory, if not in all of history.

They said it really does boil down to this: Do we want the cattle industry to stay its present course or do we want to break away from the packers' dominance and strike off in a new direction? The first real opportunity to strike off in a new direction is the proposed rule issued by the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration. Those who support the status quo understand this and are doing everything possible to kill the proposed GIPSA rule.

R-CALF USA says - the proposed GIPSA rule will preserve what remains of our cash market and none too soon, for our cash cattle market is shrinking fast, following the very same path previously followed by the hog industry.
