Arizona Border Reopens for Beef Imports | Colorado Springs News

The U.S. is reopening a border crossing in Arizona to import Mexican cattle, aiming to ease soaring beef prices — but experts doubt it’ll make much of a dent. The move follows a year-long livestock ban meant to stop the screwworm parasite, which ironically deepened the cattle shortage as herds shrink due to drought and decades of low prices. With cows producing just one calf a year and breeding heifers removed from food supply, rebuilding the herd and lowering prices will take years — even with tariff-free beef imports for 90 days and strict health inspections in place.
