Do you have a live cattle export trade in canada?

Or tryanny of distance kills it?

Lots of live cattle exported to the US, largely because of not enough kill/processing capacity in parts of Canada

Little out of touch in last 10yrs, not sure on border status to other countries right now. Canada has been a source for breeding stock for a good chunk of the world. My area has sent lots to South America, Cuba, Mexico, China and Russia.

My cows are just commercials, but I have sent live sheep to Brazil, Australia and Mexico.

As far as logistics they send literally boat loads of 5000hd of fat cattle from South America to Saudia Arabia.

Small world
