The fact of the matter is everyone of us will sell out someday...or die with our boots on...and then the cows will be sold anyway!
I do see a problem with not very many young guys stepping up to the plate, wanting to raise cattle, but then who could blame them? There are so many opportunities out there in the world that pay a lot better.
Grassfarmer: The federal government is in charge of trade and animal health regulations. They bungled the BSE thing and guys like you and me ended up holding the bag? So should they pay us for the losses from BSE......or should you and me have to pay?
I believe that yes indeed the "taxpayer" should pay for governments screw ups....after all those taxpayers elected that government to represent them? Maybe the "taxpayer" should pay the money they owe us for their "representatives" mismanagement....before they go out and spend money on fighter jets they don't need and can't afford....or build a bunch of new jails for non existent criminals?
