USDA has suspended livestock imports from Mexico to prevent the spread of New World Screwworm.
Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins said protecting U.S. livestock and food safety is a top priority, calling it a national security issue. USDA is taking this step to stop NWS from moving farther north, as it has been found about 700 miles from the border. The ban will stay in place month-to-month until there is progress on containing the pest.
National Cattlemen’s Beef Association CEO Colin Woodall joined RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender to discuss the importance of this move, the possible ripple effects for the industry, and the main signs and precautions producers need to keep in mind.
