· Letters: Urban laws threaten cattlemendpo.st/3ermZjGThe proposed laws would not allow artificial insemination or let a farmer or rancher choose the age when the animals were taken to market.I did not grow up on a farm or ranch but did spend many summers at my uncle’s farm. I learned early on to stay clear of bulls, especially in the breeding season. They can be very dangerous. In fact, my great grandfather was killed by a bull.I also recall times could be hard for my uncle and when money was needed they had to sell cattle — regardless of the age of the livestock.The proposed laws would not allow artificial insemination or let a farmer or rancher choose the age when the animals were taken to market.Remember that the recently passed law that will reintroduce wolves in Colorado was passed due to a heavy “yes” vote from urban areas. What do people who live in the city know about wolves? What do the people who live in the city know about the cattle business? Would it make sense for rural folks to dictate bike lanes or traffic signals? Likewise, it doesn’t make sense for city folks to dictate the cattle business. These proposed laws will not only add economic hardships to Colorado’s agricultural sector but city folks better get ready to open up your wallet at the grocery store as meat prices rise.Cliff Wetherill, Arvada, ColoradoDenver Postphoto: Deby Dixon ...
