This is a bit of a tie-in to the previous question about the viability of that market. We know it's viable. We have a small federally inspected processor that's EU approved in Lacombe, Alberta, that's shipping to Europe. Three containers went last month. It's a small organization but the market demand is not the question. It's the ability to have the desire to line up supply to adhere to the European requirements. That's being done right now. The viability of the market is there by the size alone.
As I mentioned earlier, the largest EU-approved plant in Canada is the one in Balzac, just north of Calgary. That plant has the ability to kill 700 to 800 cattle a day on a single shift. There are 275 employed at that plant. The purchaser of that plant has worked for large companies in the past. He understands the opportunities this plant provides as a niche processor. He's pretty convinced about that but Europe isn't the only market that's having requirements with regard to production technology. There is also Russia, China, and Taiwan. From that standpoint that plant is well situated. The gentleman who will own that plant has worked in larger plants and understands what it's like to be in the commodity business that the two big plants are in.
