Although the U.S. is a large country, we don't consume a lot of sheep
meat. At least not per capita. Most of us don't know the difference
between lamb, hogget, and mutton( I might have misspelled hogget, my
dictionary does not have it listed ).


Fortunately we don't seem to have big tariffs on WINE. New Zealand
white wine is about the only white wine that I enjoy ( Villa Maria, in
case anyone is looking for a good not real expensive white ).

Sounds good - so when is the US going to take more New Zealand
imports? When are they going to stop tarrifs and limits on sheep meat
from Australia and new Zealand - as ordered by the WTO 3 times? For
the average US citizen, sheep are wooly animals that damn few
americans know about, or grow, but they have some powerful friends in
Congress. Offsets sound good to me - of course it goes both ways...
The US is one of the most protected markets in the world
