[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7938491, member: 348"] All of the suspended animals were on one farm, so was the problem from semen which was ever offered for sale? It’s perfectly easy to drive to France (or wherever) with a liquid nitrogen shipping flask in the boot of your car, put some French semen in it, then drive home without declaring anything to anyone. Given the blue tongue situation I would imagine, from France, the bull would have to been tested free before semen was collected for legitimate export? Maybe semen was collected and ok for domestic use, but not to export spec? The guy selling it in France wouldn’t have been doing anything wrong, just whoever would have brought it over under the radar…… if that is what happened of course. We don’t know if that was the case, just supposition. I had a Chinese gentleman enquire about some ram semen last year. There is no export health certificate for China, but he suggested he could supply a shipper and transport it over himself. All I would have to do was supply the product. It didn’t go ahead, but easy to see how such things can happen if the will is there.🤐 [/QUOTE]
