Small ruminants need to be included in rule 3. I know the U.S. is right now dealing with R-CALF, and they're a bit gun-shy about putting rule 3 on the table before their issues with R-CALF are settled. But we don't even have a guarantee that small ruminants are in rule 3, and there is some speculation as to whether or not we should have even been included in the original border closure. We feel that six years of not being able to access the market is a bit excessive.
