R-CALF USA Proclaims Major Victory
Published Tuesday, February 09, 2010 at 04:59 AM
Calling Friday’s announcement - a major victory - Thornsberry says - the Secretary has signaled he is going back to the drawing board to develop a new system that does not infringe upon the rights and privileges of U.S. cattle farmers and ranchers as did NAIS. Thornsberry proclaimed, - this is exactly what we’ve been urging USDA to do for the past five years.
Thornsberry said NAIS was conceived and supported by international trade organizations, ear tag manufacturers and multinational meatpackers, and was all about controlling cattle farmers and ranchers and cattle markets, not about controlling and preventing animal diseases.
