There´s a showdown brewing in the west that is fixing to make that little incident at the O.K. Corral look like child´s play. On one side of the street you have the NCBA, packing enough hardware and weighted down with sufficient checkoff gold to make them the odds on favorite. They´ve got the sun behind them and the fastest hired guns in their stable. But they may have overplayed their hand. Lately there´s been no shortage of up and coming cowboys who want to take them on.
