Access to over 30 month aged cattle should open up in the third or fourth quarters of 2006. |
Although it's too early to know precisely, the fact it is contained -- it was in the herd in which it was born -- is going to greatly facilitate the investigation. |
Because feeder cattle flow to where the feed is the cheapest, a lot will depend on what happens this summer with the weather. |
Before the border was re-opened we couldn't handle the market ready cattle. Right now, we have the largest calf-crop in a while and our feedlots are full. Because of all of this, the demand is high for Canadian live cattle within the U.S. packing industry. |
It's not unexpected that we're going to see a few more isolated cases. It's obviously unwelcome, but pretty well around the world there have been what's referred to as 'BARB' cattle. Those are born after ruminant ban. |

This is finishing the job. We are going to be a different industry when we're done this. |
U.S. beef processors are active and there seems to be a strong sense of confidence in resumption of trade with Japan, and Korea. |
We expect those (cattle) imports to resume shortly. |
We want to make sure we don't slide back to where we are too dependant on cattle exports and we don't have enough capacity in Canada . The only way processing exists, is if its able to make a return on investment. |
