Very much so. The NWS does not impact food safety. Cattle will not be the ones that bring it across. Wildlife will. We inspect cattle individually daily at my facilities and have tools in our arsenal to illuminate the larva immediately. Much less the rigorous inspection that happens at the boarder during the importation process.

@secrollins Allow Mexican cattle back to the United States please. They are building the infrastructure in Mexico now that used to give jobs to family in the USA. We are getting the cattle via imported beef anyways. Grazed here, fed here, processed here. A much better product for the American consumer than it coming from Mexico.
Shutting down the boarder to Mexican cattle imports does not grow our US cow herd. It is doing the opposite. High prices lead to consolidation and further liquidation. It also makes the barrier of entry into our industry almost impossible/rejecting new ranchers.

Your decision to shut down the border has been the largest contributor to increasing beef prices to our consumers in America.

With all due respect, I believe your organization is missing the bigger picture. There is currently a barrier to entry for new young ranchers to enter our industry.

When a first time rancher goes to a bank to request a loan to buy cows. More times than not the bank will lend a 70% advance rate on a cow at $1700-$2000 per head evaluation. Meaning the young new rancher has to come up with the balance of the equity. In today’s current market of $3500 up to well north of $5000 per head. Making the new rancher have to come up with an additional $3300 of equity to be within lending limits.

This is the core problem with our herd expansion.

@SecRollins and the administration need to allow Mexican cattle back into the United States. So they can be grazed in the USA, Fed in the USA, and processed in the USA. Since we suspended the importation of these cattle. Now they are fed and processed in Mexico, which these processes are well below USDA standards. Currently they are being imported in boxes that are processed in Mexico. All this amounts to much higher less safe beef in the USA. The “screw worm” is irrelevant. It does not impact food safety. The decision to suspend importing Mexican cattle has increased US beef prices by more than 25%.

Where are the @GOP ads warning liberal operatives that if they are caught turning in fraudulent voter registrations, they will be prosecuted to the highest extent of the law?

Government is inherently corrupt, which is why that guy right there magically became a near-billionaire after spending his entire adult life working in government.

This Is BIG ‼️

“I'm not making it up. The University of Nebraska just got a got done with one of their studies that the way to save the world on carbon is raise more cows. K. And that's because cows are carbon negative”

“They produce more oxygen than they put off methane and carbon. It means to eat more cheese burgers or steaks. Beef, to save the world.”

“According to a 2023 University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) report, beef production can be climate-neutral or even better if management practices are optimized to minimize emissions and maximize abilities to store carbon.

Some of the ways UNL research suggests that cattle’s carbon footprint can be reduced include:

Diet: Cattle that eat more forage and added fats produce less methane and other greenhouse gases than those that eat more grain and less forage. Fat supplements can also reduce the need for grain.

Production efficiency: Improving production efficiency can result in more cattle being marketed or more live weight being produced while using fewer resources. This can be achieved through breeding, feeding, and health programs.
Supply chain: Buying feed that’s grown nearby can reduce shipping emissions.”

Biden”s 6 handicap.

[Border Patrol Union - NBPC @BPUnion]

To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

To be clear Steve, I called 2 Special Sessions last year that would have added $6 Billion for Public Schools, provide teacher pay raises & end the STAAR test + add school choice.

You helped kill that bill.

That's why voters fired you in the primary.

I’d love to hear Joe Biden try to explain the elements of the “crime” of which Donald Trump was just convicted.
