The following are some of the highlights from the meeting. CCA will explore compensation options for sheep and goats for potential death losses from anaplas- mosis or bluetongue. The CCA wants the government to lower the status of these diseases to annually notifi- able to remove trade barriers against U.S. feeder cattle imports, a major trade irritant. The sheep industry has expressed concern over the cost to their producers should any death losses occur. CCA will explore costs, benefits and feasibility of a live cattle move- ment/tracking system beyond the current premise of origin -based traceback system. CCA approved guiding principles for safety net programs. Of primary concern is developing a program for disaster protection as opposed to income fluctuation. Programs must be as market neutral as possible and structured to minimize influence on business decisions; they should not alter competitive balance within the industry, including regional and sec- toral; and should allow the cattle industry to be driven by clear mar- ket signals. Any programs must be structured to minimize risk of for- eign trade action, and be transpar- ent and predictable. The cattle industry needs a voice in program policy direction. CCA also passed a resolution sup- porting the concept that farm fed grain be included in any programs for grains and oilseeds.

The case had been pending before Judge Richard Cebull of that court since July. Recently Judge Cebull issued his order denying motion for judgment. R -CALF has the right to appeal Judge Cebull's decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. However, it was the Ninth Circuit that reversed the preliminary injunction ordered by Judge Cebull that temporari- R-CALF's summary G.I.C.'s 456% tA1r Gaiser Kneale ""h EXETER - 235-2420 GRAND BEND - 238-8484 CLINTON - 482-3401 ly halted the border re- opening to Canadian live cattle imports last year. The Ninth Circuit also denied R-CALF's request for a rehearing of that reversal. Canadian Cattlemen's Association President Hugh Lynch -Staunton notes that several issues remain to be resolved before North American trade is completely nor- malized, especially reopening the border to over 30 month cattle and beef and breeding cattle. The CCA continues working to achieve nor- malized trade in all mar- kets.
