Effective July 2006, the CFIA amended the pre stud entry requirements for Owners Use only bulls. This means that your bull(s) can enter, be collected and leave the same week with no testing requirements. Please note that only bulls “pre booked” will be allowed into the facility on the designated collections days. Bulls with no tests will be required to leave within 5 days of entering the stud.

To ensure pen availability we recommend that if you require semen to be sold in Canada or other export markets that you request a “full set” or “full export” pre stud entry tests be done by your local veterinarian. When the test results are endorsed by the federal district vet, your bull is eligible for entry into the stud. We also recommend you, or your Veterinarian, contact us prior to testing your bull to ensure the most up to date tests are done. It is also a good idea to let us know what Countries you would like to qualify for, as they all have different requirements.

Sires that are going on to be collected for the EEC are housed at the bio secure facility.  There is no public access to the EEC quarantine facility.

We require all bulls entering our facility to be CCIA tagged.
