Sent several and only had one returned due to a poster here intervening on my behalf. Funny how a business is all about the customer on sale day, but other days, ????????
I think some of the cattle breeders still haven't become very well versed on 21st century communication methods. I sent a couple of e-mails to Remitall and didn't receive a reply to them as well. But, as requested in one of them, I did receive a dispersal catalog in the mail.
One of the questions I had was what kind of expense would be expected in getting any cattle bought across the border. Does anyone here know the answer to that?

Some of it depends on what all needs to be done to go into your state. I sent a bull up into Sask this summer and I had a vet bill for: health certificate, brucellosis test (within 30 days), tb test (within 60 days), and USA tag and tattoo. Not much of a bill for those. There was a $35 bill from the canadian vet for inspection going into canada. I am bringing the bull back across the border along with a 6 year old bull next month. They will have to have the same tests above to come home along with trich tests, CAN brand, and claim they haven't been exposed to M cattle. There isn't a whole lot of expense to it, unless they put a high value on their time to get all this done. I paid all the expense to get him up there including delivery and will to get him back as part of the 1/2 possession the canadian bought.
