U S to Remove Livestock Ban Against Mexico
The United States plans to lift the ban on rattle, sheep, swine and other ruminants and livestock products from Mexico by September, provided no new outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease occurs. The embargo, in effect since December 1946, followed the outbreak in Mexico and was announced jointly by Secretary Brannan and Mexico’s President Miguel Aleman. Mexico previously shipped 260,000 to 580,000 cattle annually, a fraction of the U S slaughter total of about 25 million last year.
