The difference is your livestock doesn't have a shelf life but that poses it's own set of problems...feed and housing costs etc...

On my side the issue is Perishabiliy.

Do you have someone advocating on your behalf?

I am the president of the tropical fruit growers of south Florida and our county Ag. Manager has been busting his tail on our behalf but because of imports he's had an uphill climb.
