Cattle Back In But Screwworm Battle Continues | Lubbock News
Description
The U.S. is finally reopening cattle imports from Mexico, a major win for ranchers and consumers alike—helping stabilize prices after a damaging delay that disrupted supply chains and caused widespread concern. This move follows a critical summit involving Mexico, Texas, and New Mexico, where leaders united around science-driven solutions to tackle the New World screwworm, stressing collaboration over trade disruption. Secretary Brooke Rollins deserves credit for the decisive action, but the government’s overall response has been too slow and insufficient. With billions in livestock at risk, half-measures won’t cut it—this is just the beginning of what must be a sustained, full-scale effort to eradicate the screwworm and protect America’s ranchers from future chaos.
