New deal in play to ship live cows to Russia in Fall

LINDSAY — Cattle buyer Ed McMorrow is setting up a second deal to sell live Canadian beef cows and replacement heifers to Russian buyers. The second boat load of cattle is expected to be shipped out in October.

McMorrow was involved in a deal that saw 2,000 beef and dairy breeding cattle shipped to Russia in May. It was the first significant Canadian export of live breeding cattle since the BSE crisis that closed borders in 2003.
