LETHBRIDGE, Alberta - In the heart of Canada's cattle country, ranchers feel a bond with their American colleagues, one built on a century of trade. "My area was settled by Texans and Texan cattle, and cattle have been moving back and forth ever since," said rancher Neil Jahnke, who runs 1,200 head near Gouldtown, in southwest Saskatchewan. He and other Canadian ranchers view the land where they make their living as an uninterrupted range over which cattle, feed and processed beef move back and forth freely between Canada and the United States. The border is just a line on a map.
