The cattle were imported from the United States. The herd arrived at the airport on a Turkish Airlines flight on Monday afternoon.
Sadeeq Agro imported these cows, aged between 13-60 months, from Centurion World Logistics LLC Sulphur Springs in Texas, USA.
As the import of this breed is not allowed in the country and the importer was nowhere to be found, the cattle were confiscated.
