[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 38415, member: 97"] Texan- After the Alberta cow and before the Washington cow was discovered- the packers had been able to segregate the Canadian beef- Then after the Washington cow, everything closed down. So it has been done before and could be done again- especially since there are no live cattle coming in from Canada--Several feedlots have been feeding for the Japanese market for years- Many times in the last 3-4 years, when I inspected calves being sold the buyer would require the owner to sign an affidavit verifying county, state, and country where raised, age, and any feed or shots given- These calves are then tagged and tracked immediately upon arrival at the feedlots--They told me that the Japanese were requiring this as a form of source verification. This was before either country had BSE. Cattle Rack- my source has given me good info before- One thing I forgot to mention is that while the Japanese are still saying no imports without testing- they are leaning toward allowing beef from "under 20 month" old US cattle in without testing--- IF and thats the big word- IF nothing else comes up- (another BSE case, USDA slipup or whatever).
