Beef Cattle News Border Closed To Mexican Livestock Imports Just days after reopening southern U.S. ports for Mexican livestock imports, the USDA has shut them down again due to a new case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in Veracruz, Mexico—just 370 miles from the U.S. border. This follows earlier cases in May that prompted the initial closure. The USDA's phased reopening plan is now on hold, citing the need for stronger containment efforts in Mexico. The halt threatens U.S. beef supply chains, especially in Texas. To respond, the USDA is pushing for stricter controls in Mexico and fast-tracking a U.S.-based sterile fly production facility to fight the pest.

    Episode 90 1000 Pound Steers Bring All Time High Prices

    Last week marked a historic milestone as 10-weight steers broke the $300.00 barrier for the first time ever—an achievement once thought out of reach.

    From Bassett to Hub City to Kimball and Stockmen’s, barns across the Northern Plains have fueled this surge with massive, high-quality strings commanding record-setting bids. It’s been a two-day stretch unlike anything the feeder market has ever seen—48 hours of pure fire in 10-weight history.

  • How Drone’s Control Noxious Weeds & Cattle News

    How Drone’s Control Noxious Weeds & Cattle News
    Jul 13 2025
    It’s The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they head to the skies, using the latest technology to control noxious weeds. Plus reactions to “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill”, news updates, markets and lots more on this all new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Top Reasons To Use Drones For Spraying Pastures & Weeds Agri Drones can seed and spray chemicals when fields are not ready for equipment and it is more precise than other aerial seeding options. Plus a drone can avoid obstacles and pinpoint certain areas. You can find out more about who we used to control our noxious weeds by clicking Pro Ag Solutions. 1. Precision Application Targeted spraying of individual weed patches instead of blanket applications Reduces herbicide waste and chemical drift GPS-guided flight paths ensure consistent coverage and record-keeping 2. Access Hard-to-Reach Areas Drones can easily reach: Steep terrain Wet ground or boggy spots Brushy fence lines and ravines Eliminates the need to risk equipment damage or operator safety in difficult terrain 3. Reduced Soil Compaction No heavy tractor tires driving over sensitive ground Helps preserve soil structure and forage health 4. Time & Labor Savings Faster setup and application time compared to manual or vehicle-based sprayers Reduces labor requirements — one operator can manage several acres per hour Perfect for small patches or spot treatments that aren't worth dragging out a boom sprayer 5. Ideal for Sensitive Areas Less impact on: Native grasses Wildlife habitat Waterways (when used with precision nozzles and appropriate buffers) 6. Data Collection & Monitoring Many drones are equipped to map weed infestations before spraying Enables before-and-after analysis, recordkeeping, and adaptive management 7. Cost-Effective for Small & Mid-Sized Pastures Great return on investment for: Pastures under 200 acres Rotational grazing systems Landowners or ranchers who want more control over timing and application Cattle News Cattlemen’s Groups React to “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill” The U.S. Cattlemen's Association (USCA) and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) commented on the successful passage of "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill", which includes several provisions critical to the U.S. livestock industry and wins for America's family farmers and ranchers. A few of the highlights include: Livestock Indemnity Program Establishes a payment rate for losses due to predation at 100% of the market value and losses due to adverse weather or disease at 75% of the market value. Introduces additional payments for unborn livestock death losses incurred on or after January 1, 2024, at a rate determined by the Secretary, not exceeding 85% of the payment rate for the lowest weight class of livestock. Livestock Forage Disaster Program Allows for two monthly payments and specifying eligibility criteria based on grazing periods and expands the program by allowing it to kick in after 4 consecutive weeks of drought, rather than the previous 8 consecutive weeks Emergency Assistance Provides emergency assistance for cattle with specific payment rates and eligibility criteria. Death Tax The bill increases the Death Tax exemption to $15 million per individual or $30 million per couple, adjusted annually for inflation. This means if the value of your farm or ranch plus equipment, cattle, and other assets are less than $15 million individually or $30 million as a couple Foreign Animal Disease Prevention Specifies funding allocations for foreign animal disease prevention programs.

A temporary 90-day tariff cut — down to 32% for beef and 57% for pork — failed to revive U.S. meat shipments to levels seen in May 2024. Trade Challenges Mount Ahead of August Deadline Compounding the issue, China declined to renew registrations for multiple U.S. beef plants and cold storage facilities in February, further restricting exports, says the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). “The need for progress in trade talks is urgent,” said USMEF President Dan Halstrom, warning that tariffs could spike again on August 12.

  • Feeder Cattle Break All Time High Records

    Feeder Cattle Break All Time High Records
    Jul 11 2025
    State & National Records Broken For Feeder Cattle

    Green City Livestock Marketing hosted its Annual Beef BBQ Customer Appreciation event with a powerhouse two-day sale that drew intense buyer demand and showcased top-tier cattle. Widely regarded as one of the most exceptional sales in the barn’s history, the event shattered records at every level—posting 35 all-time barn records, 13 new Missouri state highs, and 4 national benchmarks. The results speak to both the superior quality of the offering and the underlying strength of the current feeder market.

    New highs were set across multiple weight classes, with several standout drafts making national headlines. On July 2, 2025, 11 head at 615 lbs sold for $425.00/cwt, marking the highest 6-weight steer price ever recorded in the U.S. That same day, 39 head at 705 lbs brought $369.00, the third-highest price nationally for 7-weight steers. Other highlights included 21 head at 433 lbs fetching $462.50 (4-weights) and 17 head at 846 lbs bringing $329.50 (8-weights), both setting new highs. The momentum began on June 30 with two heavyweight drafts: 63 head at 906 lbs sold for $315.25 (4th all-time nationally) and 67 head at 902 lbs brought $313.75 (10th all-time), both breaking barn and Missouri state records for 9-weight steers.

  • Cattle Trade Resumes With Mexico & Walmart Opens New Beef Facility

    Cattle Trade Resumes With Mexico & Walmart Opens New Beef Facility
    Jul 4 2025
    USDA to Reopen Livestock Trade with Mexico in Phases The USDA has announced a phased reopening of U.S. ports to cattle, bison, and equines from Mexico starting July 7, 2025, beginning with the Douglas, Arizona port. This follows significant progress in Mexico’s New World Screwworm (NWS) response, including expanded surveillance, increased sterile fly dispersal (over 100 million per week), and no recent signs of northward NWS spread. USDA officials conducted on-site evaluations and determined that conditions now support limited trade resumption. Further port reopenings in New Mexico and potentially Texas will depend on continued improvements, case monitoring, and enhanced animal health protocols. Port Reopening Timeline *After each reopening USDA will evaluate to ensure no adverse effects arise* REFERENCE: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/u-s-cattle-report Walmart Launches First In-House Case-Ready Beef Facility in Kansas Walmart announced the grand opening of its first-ever owned and operated case-ready beef facility in Olathe, Kansas. This milestone reinforces Walmart’s commitment to building a more resilient, transparent and efficient supply chain for Angus beef — helping Walmart provide quality beef options that meet demand and bring tremendous value to customers across the Midwest. In 2022, Walmart made an equity investment in Sustainable Beef LLC in North Platte, Nebraska, as part of its continued efforts in creating an end-to-end supply chain for Angus beef. Sustainable Beef’s majority ownership is local and producer-centric, with cattle sourced from no more than a 250-mile radius to the plant in a region that has exceptionally high-quality cattle. Now, the newly opened, 300,000+ square-foot, state-of-the-art facility will package and distribute Angus cuts sourced directly from Sustainable Beef LLC to stores across the Midwest, bringing even greater transparency to customers seeking quality beef options at Walmart stores in the region.

Join Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt, the Boss Lady Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' by subscribing on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Ranch It Up Herd It Here: Episode 87 USDA to Build $8.5 Million Facility Announced to Boost U.S. Pest Control On June 18, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced a new sterile fly dispersal facility at Moore Airfield Base in South Texas. The $8.5 million investment aims to strengthen the USDA’s ability to detect, control, and eliminate the New World screwworm (NWS). Border Closures Spark Action On May 11, the U.S. suspended imports of live cattle, bison, and horses from Mexico after NWS was found 700 miles from the U.S. border. This followed an earlier closure in November 2024, which lasted until February 1, 2025. Current Fly Production is Not Enough The U.S. now relies on a joint facility in Panama producing 100 million sterile flies per week. But future eradication may require 400–500 million weekly, driving the need for domestic capacity. What is the New World Screwworm? NWS is a parasitic fly that lays eggs in wounds of warm-blooded animals. Larvae feed on live tissue, causing severe harm or death. The pest was eradicated in the U.S. by 1982, but recent cases near the border are raising alarms.

The Asian Long Horned Tick carries a protozoan parasite that infects red and white blood cells and causes bovine infectious anemia. There are no approved treatments in the United States. The best way to protect livestock is through tick control methods and proper biosecurity to prevent blood-borne spread between livestock.
