Gee, I wonder which they're sending us.The Meat Import Council of America announced a few days ago that the first shipment of 25 tons of boneless beef from Namibia, Africa, arrived in the United States.
Namibia is in southern Africa, on the west coast, and has a large portion that is free of foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination, and a smaller portion that is not free of FMD.

Well, that's good.The Namibian imports have been noticed and called out by beef producers upset with the current state of slaughter plant closings and live-cattle to retail price spreads in the United States.

Meatco is the first company from Africa eligible to export meat to the US. The product is grass-fed with no added hormones or antibiotics.
*Meatco is a Namibian beef processor which has been audited by USDA and recognised as “equivalent to US establishments.” The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) in the US reinspects consignments.
Fortunately for farmers, that's probably true. Just not the way he's telling it.
