POSSIBLE SCREWWORM CASE IN TEXAS UNDER INVESTIGATION
Samples from two calves on a ranch in La Pryor, Texas, have been sent for testing after a suspected case of New World screwworm infestation, according to Texas Representative Don McLaughlin.
No case has been confirmed, and the Texas Animal Health Commission said no New World screwworm has been detected in Texas. Earlier reports of a confirmed case near the border were corrected by the USDA, which said the nearest confirmed case was found in Mexico’s Coahuila state, 25 miles south of Texas.
Not a good look for cattle. Feeders have held the yearly open at 345.55 until this morning. If we can't hold the yearly open, the market will do to the downside what it does to the upside, with a measured move back down to the lows from last fall.
Hopefully Aug feeders can recover 345. This is opinion only and not trading advice.
Interesting discussion down in Corpus about a proposed 1 billion dollar 30mgd desalination plant in the bay.
Fisherman are very concerned about the brine discharge
City modeling showed it wouldn't have a big effect.. but council pushed back and said they need it to grow into a bigger plant but didn't have any modeling on the effects
Decision was delayed till later in the year
