Well then, you are probably near or above my $450k gross sale mark then, aren't you? Of course the feed business might effect the gross margin requirement.

Maybe I'm not making myself clear on this: These "health" ordinances are going to put people like us out of business, not the Cargil's or Smithfields. They could buy half a county for a setback zone if they had to. I can't afford to buy the neighbors house to feed cattle again. More than likely, it will just push livestock into places that they are welcomed (like Brazil). We'll be able to add food to the long list of things that we import/fight over.

As for those wacko animal rights groups, they may be nutjobs to you, but to the American public they are becoming more bonifide every day. And they have more money than us. WAY more money.

To borrow a line from my father.... "PETA is for local control".....wonder why?
