Bluetongue restrictions on U-S animals entering Canada have been lifted.

Erik Butters with the Alberta Beef Producers says the restrictions for Anaplasmosis are expected to come off as well.

Butters says it's been a big concern for American politicians who the Alberta Beef Producers met with at the Folklife Festival in Washington DC this month.

"We visited with the chair of the house ag committee and we were in the under secretary's office and visited with him", he says, "we made the best of the time we could with government officials".

Butters says the Bluetongue and Anaplas restrictions were the major source of concern during the Washington visit.
