Montana Judge Blocks Decision to Allow More Canadian Beef Products into United States
April 30, 2004
April 30, 2004 -- A federal judge in Montana on April 26, 2004, stopped a plan put into place last week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that would have allowed for the importation into the United States of all edible beef products from Canadian cattle less than 30 months of age.
The block was prompted by the Billings, Mont.-based Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, which said the decision to allow for the importation of the beef products was enacted without an opportunity for public comment.
