Live cattle cross border
The Canadian Cattlemen’s
Association (CCA) was very
pleased Monday that the first live
Canadian cattle crossed into the
U.S. since BSE was diagnosed in
Canada in May 2003.
“This is an historic day for the
Canadian beef cattle industry,” says
Stan Eby. president of the CCA. “1
want to thank Minister of
Agriculture Andy Mitchell and U.S.
Secretary of Agriculture Mike
Johanns and their senior staff for all
their efforts on this issue and for
directing their agencies to quickly
get the processes in place to get the
cattle moving. 1 also commend staff
of the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency and the United States
Department of Agriculture for (he
extraordinary effort they put in over
the weekend working to ensure that
all was in order to enable exports to
quickly resume. It was only on
Thursday that the preliminary
injunction preventing the export of
live Canadian cattle was overturned
on appeal, and here we are on
Monday with cattle actually mov
ing. This is exemplary service on
the part of regulators on both sides
of the border."
Beef from the cattle exported
today will join the 632,000 tonnes
of Canadian beef that has been
exported to the U.S. since the border
re-opened to boneless Canadian
beef from cattle under 30 months in
August, 2003. Canadian processors
are now also permitted to export
bone-in beef from these younger
animals. A fully competitive market

A hearing into R-CALF’s request
for a permanent injunction against
Canadian live cattle and beef must
still be heard in U.S. District Court,
Montana Division on July 27.
“We look forward to the correct
decisions being made in any future
court actions.” adds Eby.
“We will continue working to
ensure that adequate slaughter
capacity is maintained in Canada to
make us less vulnerable to border
disruptions. However we all benefit
from a North American marketplace
that is permitted to operate accord
ing to marketplace signals.”
