Notes
One hundred beef-type cattle sixty heifers and forty bulls from Guatemala and another sixteen bulls and forty heifers from Mexico have been imported by Belize to improve the growth rate and meat quality of Belizian cattle. After the required quarantine of one month, the cattle will be available for breeding programmes in the Department of Agriculture and to district agricultural stations. These are now in a position to provide bull rental services to farmers and supply them with quality breeding stock. (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Co-operatives, Belmopan, February 2001)
