CALGARY: The beef industry is welcoming news that Mexico will lift a more than decade-long ban on some cattle imports.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association says it could lead to tens of millions of dollars in additional beef exports.

Mexico imposed a ban on Canadian beef imports in 2003 over fears of mad cow disease.

While some restrictions were lifted a year later, a ban on cattle over 30 months old is still in place.
