Genevieve Parent of the Canadian Agriculture Review Tribunal cancelled a $13,000 fine the Canadian Food Inspection Agency imposed for trucking a cow from a farm to a packing plant when the inspector deemed the cow unfit for transportation.
But three people testified that the cow did not appear unfit when it was loaded at the farm on Sept. 21, 2020.
The trucker transported it from Ms. Bianca Foley’s farm the evening of September 22. 2020, outside business hours, and delivered it to the slaughterhouse the next day.
The Foley;s farm breeds prize-winning Ayshires at Piopolis, Quebec.
Their Vieus Village farm won 12 consecutive premier breeder and exhibitor awards at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.
