Mexico’s Cattle Reentry After Screwworm Ban | Lubbock News

Mexico is restarting cattle exports to the U.S. starting August 24th after a year-long ban due to the invasive screwworm parasite, with shipments beginning at Douglas, Arizona. Though ranchers are relieved to resume trade—many lost 40% of their income last year—the new rules include strict inspections, ear tags, and canine checks, starting with just 700 cattle daily. While slow, this cautious reopening eases supply shortages and rising beef prices, offering hope for a smoother border trade ahead.
