It probably was Bob.... But we sent it to the US of A so that you
Americans could see first hand what happens when your borders get
closed to beef exports and what happens when your government runs
around like the proverbial chicken with it's head cut off.

It's not a pleasant experience to the thousands of farmers and ranchers
who lives have been destroyed or put into utter turmoil or those who
work in the industry whether they are a truck driver who delivers
cattle, those that slaughter them, or those that sell them.

And since a cow doesn't know what side of the border it is on, or what
a flag looks like, then the people who's lives are shattered get to
experience that on both sides of the borders.... Yours, and mine.
