[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1224412, member: 16303"] Here is a link to APHIS that has information on importing animals into the US (this includes live animals, semen and embryos), [url]http://www.aphis.usda.gov/wps/portal/aphis/ourfocus/importexport?1dmy&urile=wcm%3apath%3a%2Faphis_content_library%2Fsa_our_focus%2Fsa_animal_health%2Fsa_import_into_us%2Fct_animal_imports_home[/url] Live animals are definitely more costly, importing semen and embryos would be easier. As with several of the bulls with the Composite Dairy Cattle Registry, the biggest problem has been with the Schmallenberg Virus which is in Europe. Some bulls have tested clean and have had semen imported into the US and Canada. The bulls are continually tested and when they test positive then their semen is no longer eligible to be imported into North America. In years past it has been easier to import animals into Canada and then be able to bring them into the US. There are many breeds all over the World, with that said, the first thought before importing live animals, semen or embryos would be to determine if a particular breed would offer genetics of importance or would the breed be a novelty.
