Cattle and sheep associations throughout the West accuse him of everything from anti-Americanism to stealing away the livelihood of the U.S. rancher. Jim Delfino, fed up with the marginal profits of the domestic livestock industry, has gambled $500,000 that he can make more money by importing cattle and sheep 7,900 miles across the Pacific Ocean from Australia and New Zealand to U.S. markets...
