I think I'd be tempted to contact a livestock export company in the UK and see what they say. I'm sure they've shipped to the USA before and can give you a place to start. Google search immediately brought up about 4 of them.

Good luck. It costs 100's to import chickens. I hate to think what cows will cost.

I may be wrong but......

I believe you cannot import form any country that is not declared hoof and mouth free and I am pretty sure the UK does not qualify.

Not exactly. I think any animal can be imported from any country so long as it is quarantined for a month or more and tested for FMD as well as other diseases that could be contagious.
