Ghana: Success Story - FAS Accra Cowboys Facilitate Border Crossing of US-origin Texas-bred V8 Brahman Cattle Destined for Guinea
FAS Accra (Post) successfully facilitated the transit of a small herd of high-value, reproductive Texas-bred V8 Brahman cattle. The cattle round-up started out in Texas making its way via Chicago to Doha with landfall in Coastal West Africa's Accra (Ghana). Post's expeditious intervention expedited Ghanaian (ECOWAS) import permits and sanitary clearances, as well as transit authorizations. Within 24-hours from arrival, the V8 Braham cattle were already on the road again making their way out of Ghana through neighboring Côte d'Ivoire and up to their destination in Conakry, Guinea - a 1,500-mile odyssey to their new home range. The shipment of seven young cattle was set for a stressful stopover at Ghana’s Kotoka International Airport, that lacks adequate animal handling and quarantine facilities. However, Post's border facilitation assistance ensured the health and safety of this American live cattle shipment.
