As the fellow that I met from Ireland a couple of years ago said......the thing that I really can't get over is "distance" and "size" He couldn't get over the fact that we were haulin barley 600 miles to the feedlots in 2,000 bushel trailers(in Canada). You can put something like 26 country's the size of Ireland, in 1 province of Canada like Alberta, or Saskatchewan. Not saying anything bad about the Americans, but he did prefer Canadian beer to American beer. American beer got no kick.

Enjoy the experience buddy. You'll see stuff that'll "make ya soft in ya nickers". Seriously, the western US is something else. You'll shake your head and the shear size and magnitude of it

You were talking feedlots in Canada. How does the cattle take the winter up thereIJ I think it must be so much colder. Otherwise I have a little trouble with the common American beer, too.

On a normal winter, their is no problem feeding cattle up here. Through the last 100 years, the cattle have been bred to really be strong, and handle the cold weather. That is why so many Americans come up here to the cattle sales. A lot of the bulls here land up going down south to the U.S., for their hardiness. As for the feedlots, their are quite a few around the lethbridge Alberta area. This is known as feed lot alley. The price of barley here is pretty well set at the feedlots. The price is lower now, since a lot of cheap American corn is comming up there, so for any Americans complaining about Canadian wheat heading south......well its a 2 way street. Most U.S. trucks are bringing up corn, and taking back hard red wheat. A trade off I guess. They are trying to set up more feedlots in Saskatchewan, but with its geography, it is to far from markets, and the winters are brutal. Takes a lot of feed to keep the body heat up in cattle in -40 deg weather.
