US Reopens Key Border Port for Mexican Cattle
The United States is reopening its largest livestock inspection port for Mexican cattle to expand supplies. However, record-high beef prices are unlikely to drop immediately.
The United States will reopen its largest livestock inspection port on the border with Mexico on Thursday afternoon, expanding cross-border cattle trade. The move follows a year-long import block sparked by New World screwworm detections. Despite the expansion, ground beef prices will remain near record highs of $7 per pound.
