Decision on older Canadian cattle may take awhile

USDA might not resubmit a proposal to lift its ban on older Canadian cattle until the end of the year, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said last week. It's still unclear if any changes will be made after recent BSE discoveries in Canada. "Right now experts at USDA are looking at this and trying to make an assessment," Johanns said.
In July, USDA withdrew its proposal on older cattle imports after a case of BSE caused concern over Canada's cattle feed restrictions. FSnet Link
