Stratton, Ontario, Canada | Canadian beef is a long way from reaching those standards. Maybe on the cow/calf operation, but certainly not in the feedlot. Mass antibiotic and hormone use still runs rampant. No financial dockage is received by those producers who do not vaccinate their cattle for common feedlot diseases (only the possibility of a premium for those who do), and vets don't reign in excessive mass treatment of cattle upon entry into the feedlot, so where is the change to come from?
I was as fan of A&W food before and after their switch of suppliers. Siblings are big fans of Earl's and this won't change that. I have no problem telling industry leaders that they are complete idiots as they continue to try to fight the inevitable. I am a big fan of refundable checkoff for that reason. |
