Boycott WalMart Beef !
Nothing wrong with Canadian beef IT"S NOT CHEEP it's good. I get ****** when we had found mad cow disease on one of the farms and the right people where notified, The US shut down every scrap of beef that went across the border even truckers that had beef sandwich in there lunch. And when the tables where turned your Farmer try to hide the fact, and did the Canadian government try to retaliate NO ,the boarders where not closed. The reaction the US did drove our cattle industry into the ground and bankrupt a lot of truckers!

I never buy meat from walmart. I try not to buy anything from walmart if I don't have to. I always go to the local grocery store to get meat or to the local butcher shop.
It was the Americans that wanted Free Trade more then anyone, they figured they could get things cheaper and sell their goods for higher.
They wanted to control the market more so, what happend is they bought the market, then sent it to where it can be had for cheaper, (Mexico). Needless to say they shut in one of their Best partners (Canada) just so they could protect their fragile industrys, Which really were not producing that good of quailty anyways,
when will it stop is what Americans should be asking themselves, when can America open a fair trade with their partners. The US has such control over the ruling partys that we are at the Mercy of the US law makers.
It has been proven that Free Trade only works towards the US market in a benifitting it, then what ever else comes down comes to us and Mexico.
All I ever hear from Americans is how they can protect their own jobs, but at what expense to your neighbors. Sorry protecting US jobs means putting out a better product for less cost, (with in reason) so far in the industrys the US has failed to do so, there solution has been to just buy the foreign industry and force them to deal strictly with them.
For what it is worth good luck,
remember Alberta beef is the best.

I found a new appreciation for Germans that day.
I haven't bought meat from a store in 12 years, I find most of it looks pretty disgusting, an the smell compared to farm raised or wild game is atrocious. Don't even ask what I think of the meat when we go out to eat. Eggs is another thing....eating out for breakfast and them bringing these flat tasteless rubber bird droppings to me makes me gag. This Fall we (couple friends and I) butchered another two hogs an two beef cattle. That's the most we ever did of beef, but we didn't get our moose or Boo. We have a new couple up the road fresh from sunny LA, we had them over for solstice dinner. They both loved the dinner but the wife had never eaten anything not processed, an this was her first all farm raised dinner, everything on the table was Alaskan Grown, she really pigged out. Sent them home with Some game meat small ham chunk and a dozen eggs, got a phone call the next day from her, guess they tried the ham an eggs for breakfast, she was saying how much they liked our dinner, but she says where can I get these eggs, she was just in awe what a fresh egg taste like. They are now totally converted.
Oh and Ice cream....we have a local dairy, Northern Lights Dairy, they make the best vanilla there is, especially in the winter. Cold makes the cows produce more fat/cream, so its really rich, in fact in the winter you can practically whip their whole milk

I was in Hannover, Germany for a couple weeks summer of 07, I was walking around the area of the hotel one saturday and found a walmart that was going out of business. I talked to the bartender at the hotel about it and she said they were open for about a year, but everything they had was junk and no one would shop there. I just laughed and told her that was normal for wal-mart.

Deer is a good way to go. Natural beef or sometime I've seen it labeled organic beef is alot of money. I have had it a few times and it was better tasting than some of the other crap stores sell. I'm still just going to buy local from the butcher as much as I can or shoot a deer. I just feel better by helping out the local guy.
I went to Wal Mart to buy county hams for some buddys for Christmas on Sunday before. I ask if if the hams could be returned by the persons that received them, to be sliced, they told me they wuold not slice any hams, then or later.
When to Kroger's, they said yes that hams could be sliced now or later. Kroger was 25 cents per pound less. I will not be buying anymore food at Walk Mart, ....period.

I try not to buy anything food related at walmart, they arent really the cheapest if you have the slighest ability to shop. Their meet is nasty, we try to get our meat at a local butcher or grocery store.
