Here is a list of places in the US that are licensed to handle animals for
immediate slaughter.
The issue that many states had imposed
"temporary" bans on imports until they figured out import protocols is
complicating matters. Many of these bans were supposed to be lifted/expire in the fall;
however, they remain in place...maybe they are waiting for the national surveillance
program in the USA....
South Dakota was a possibility according to the State
Veterinarian....the receiving plant must be approved to receive immediate slaughter
animals from Canada (the USDA grants these approvals and they are around $300)
These guys are doing bison in Mobridge, SD and maybe do
