USDA Stops Cattle Imports from Mexico Because of Screwworm

Monday, May 12, 2025

"US Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced the suspension of live cattle, horse, and bison imports through US ports of entry along the southern border due to the continued and rapid northward spread of New World Screwworm (NWS) in Mexico, effective immediately. NWS has been recently detected in remote farms with minimal cattle movement as far north as Oaxaca and Veracruz, about 700 miles away from the US border." CDC info: www.cdc.gov

The United States will suspend imports of live cattle through ports along the southern border with Mexico for at least two weeks to review the joint strategy in the fight against the screwworm, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said. cbsn.ws/4kfYG8N

Beef prices are going up, but the USDA did its job by restricting cattle imports from Mexico. Won't the Dotard be ticked off when he learns that USDA Secretary Brooke L. Rollins did the right thing? Link: drudge.com
