The U.S. southern border is reopening today for cattle shipments from Mexico after being shut down in early May due to the New World screwworm.

CEO of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Colin Woodall spoke with RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender about what this means for the beef industry, more reopenings, and Sec. Rollins’s response.
