APHIS Proposing to Change Branding Requirements for Imported Bovines From Mexico

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is proposing to amend its regulations on branding requirements for bovines imported into the U.S. from Mexico, it said. The proposed action, requested by Mexico, would simplify and enlarge brands on imported bovines. “The changes we are proposing would help prevent inconsistencies in branding that can result in bovines being rejected for import into the United States,” APHIS said. Comments are due June 11.
