Colombia has become the first country to ban imports of U.S. beef and beef products from states where dairy cattle have tested positive for avian influenza.
Ethan Lane with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says the move isn’t science-based. “It’s disappointing to see a country like Colombia, which has been seeking access to the U.S. market for 20 years now, play games like this in this type of circumstance,” he says.
He tells Brownfield this isn’t a beef industry issue.
