US likely to resume Mexican cattle imports by year end, USDA chief veterinarian says

Rosemary Sifford, the USDA's chief veterinary officer, stated on Wednesday that the U.S. Expects to lift the suspension on cattle imports from Mexico by the end of the year, following a recent pause prompted by the spread of the New World screwworm pest.
The import suspension started this month due to the New World screwworm pest spreading northward in Mexico, with the northernmost case about 700 miles from the US border.
Sifford added that a USDA team will visit Mexico soon to review surveillance efforts ensuring proper risk assessment of the fly's movement north.
She mentioned that while the precise timing is uncertain, imports are expected to restart before the year concludes, provided there are no significant changes in the situation.
The resumption suggests progress in controlling the pest, but Sifford noted new dairy infections remain linked to biosecurity problems in already affected states.
