The Canadian Cattle Association and Western Canada’s beef-farmer organizations have pulled out because they say the regulations are too much work.
They require prompt reporting whenever cattle are moved from one property to another.
Dairy Farmers and the Canadian Pork Council have asked for amendments before the regulations become law.
The Canadian National Goat Federation and the Canadian Cervid Alliance support CFIA’s proposals.
It’s in that context that the Ontario Goat association is reminding goat farmers they have an opportunity to offer their opinions about the proposed regulations.
They can e-mail those comments directly to Cecelia Green at national goat federation at cngfinfo@gmail.com.
