Key points
New import rules for sheep, goats, and their products are put on hold until a study and report are completed.
The government will conduct a study to assess the impact of these rules on prices, supply, competitiveness of U.S. producers, and animal herd health.
A report with recommendations to mitigate negative effects on farmers and the market will be submitted before any new rules are implemented.
