BORDER
CROSSING TIPS
Greetings!
The National Amateur Chicken Championship was first run in 1967 on the natural
grasslands of the Gleichen Indian Reservation. But, since about 1982 this
Championship, together with the companion Region 14 All Age Championship,
has moved to Mortlach where the vastness of the landscape with far reaching
chicken objectives now hosts the Saskatchewan Championship, the Dominion Championship,
the National Amateur Chicken Championship, and the Region 14 All Age Championship.
Dr. Charles Hjerpe has recently written an article for the American Field about current health restrictions in bringing horses over the border. I case you missed that article here is a link to it for reading Canadian Horse Papers

- To bring a horse across
the border this spring you are required to have an approved US vet. signed
form USDA 17-145 which is good for crossing back and forth across the border
for 30 days which is good at any border crossing and does not require a
vet to be present to check the horse out at the time of crossing. This information
was provided by Dr. Peter Kelly who is the Coutts/Sweetgrass Canadian Border
Vet.
