From the Anaplas- Blue tongue history they would be doing the same thing the US producers are doing right now.......
Does Montana require animals coming from any other states into Montana to be tested for Bluetongue or Anaplas?
Bill- Not that I'm aware of-- Only import requirements concern coming from Brucellosis areas or Mexican and corriente (rodeo) stock coming in-- this is mainly because of TB... I don't know of any specific Bluetongue or Anaplas requirements- altho all cattle coming into the state need a health inspection......
What I can't understand is why Canada is expected to relax its rules on anaplas and bluetongue yet there are other States in the US that still require cattle coming from Montana to be tested for it.
