[Rep. Mike Flood @USRepMikeFlood]

Great meeting with @NECattlemen during their DC visit!

We covered wildfire recovery, animal health, and how to keep Nebraska the 'Beef State.'

Nebraska beef helps feed America and the world, and I’ll continue backing policies that allow our ranchers and producers to succeed.🐄

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Great catching up with @NECattlemen! Nebraska’s cattle producers are essential to feeding families here at home and around the world.

Nebraska beef is hard to beat, especially when wrapped in Bacon!

In response the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) confirmation of a New World Screwworm (NWS) case in Texas, Nebraska Cattlemen (NC) released the following statement:

“Nebraska Cattlemen, the NC Animal Disease Threats Working Group, and the NC Animal Health and Nutrition Committee have been preparing for New World Screwworm almost two years. Although the only confirmed case in the U.S. at this time is in Texas, Nebraska producers should remain vigilant and report any cases immediately, as early detection and treatment will be highly effective in eradicating NWS. We have eradicated this parasite before and we will again.”

If you suspect a case of NWS, immediately notify your local veterinarian, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture at 402-471-2351, or the local USDA office at 402-434-2300.

The Nebraska Cattlemen Disaster Relief Fund received a little over $55,000 to help cattle producers impacted by the wildfires.

Hornady Manufacturing raised the funds through a Nebraska Strong T-shirt campaign, a Hornady gear donation and a dollar-for-dollar match by the Hornady family. More than 2,000 T-shirts were sold across the United States.

Thank you to our friends at Hornady and everyone who purchased a shirt for your generosity! Together we are #NebraskaStrong.

Yesterday, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture urged producers to be vigilant after Theileria, a tick-borne parasite that affects cattle and is primarily spread by the Asian Longhorned Tick, was detected in several Nebraska counties. Nebraska Cattlemen has been engaged with animal health leaders over recent months to discuss ways producers can protect their herds and respond to Theileria.

Join us to learn more about Theileria and the Asian Longhorned Tick during the Animal Health & Nutrition Committee meeting at NC’s Midyear Meeting. John F. Currin, DVM, DABVP–Dairy, a clinical professor in the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, will share firsthand insights, as Virginia has been dealing with Theileria since 2017.

Date: Thursday, June 11
Time: 2:00–3:30 p.m. CT
Topic: Theileria and the Asian Longhorned Tick
Speaker: John F. Currin, DVM, DABVP–Dairy

In recent years, confirmed cases of New World screwworm (NWS) in cattle have spread from Panama northward to within approximately 100 miles of the southern U.S. border. The threat of NWS is not new to the United States, although it may feel that way to some since it has been 60 years since the fly was officially eradicated. Thankfully, the successful eradication campaign carried out in the 1960s will serve as the blueprint for managing the current threat.

Read more about the implications of NWS for Nebraska producers from Dr. Matte Hille on page 34 of the of April/May edition of the Nebraska Cattleman Magazine.

Beef Month classroom takeover 📚✏️

NC's Director of State Government Affairs, Matthew Melchor, visited Mrs. Williams' second graders at Sandy Creek Elementary School to talk all things Nebraska beef. From coloring pages to big questions about where their food comes from, these second graders are officially beef experts!

The last two consecutive (non-holiday / non-Covid) weeks with USDA/LMR (LM_CT141) Nebraska formula net totals <30,000 hd were the weeks of May 8 and May 15 of 2017. @NECattlemen

[Kellan Heavican @BRNAgNews_KH]

I sat down with @NECattlemen President Craig Uden this week and discussed how the drought is impacting hay supplies and operations for producers in his state.

[Safari Club International @SafariClubIntl]

In response to the catastrophic wildfires that have swept across Nebraska, @TeamHornady has proudly started a t-shirt fundraising campaign – Nebraska Strong, benefiting the @NECattlemen’s Disaster Relief Fund. 🚨

The wildfires have burned nearly 1 million acres of Nebraska ranchland and have heavily impacted the Nebraska Sandhills, one of the most productive and globally recognized beef-producing regions in the world. The destruction extends far beyond grazing land and ranchers have suffered significant losses. Compounding the crisis, Nebraska has been enduring years of drought, making recovery even more difficult. The long-term effects of this disaster will be felt for years to come.

Shirts are available until May 13. Don't wait. Help today! 🔗 https://t.co/GxTMzEqsmZ

Thank you, Senator Ricketts!

[Senator Pete Ricketts @SenatorRicketts]

Today, I was able to present the Nebraska Cattlemen with a Capitol flag.

Together, we are celebrating National Beef Month.

Nebraska is the beef state. Our ranchers are the best in the world.

They’ve shown it this year in response to this spring’s devastating fires across the state. I’m confident they will rebuild and I’m grateful to honor them in the month of May.

[CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil @CBSEveningNews]

When the largest wildfire in Nebraska history tore through Mike and Kayla Wintz’s Sandhills ranch, it wiped out the grass and hay their cattle depend on. Their livelihood was gone — until strangers from across the country stepped in. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road.
