The United States is set to resume limited livestock imports from Mexico starting August 24th, following a year-long ban due to concerns over the New World screwworm parasite. While this marks a significant step for both countries' cattle and beef industries, new U.S. protocols will initially restrict the number of cattle allowed across the border. These measures include mandatory RFID tagging, electronic screening, and trained dog inspections to prevent the parasite's reintroduction, despite some Mexican ranchers expressing frustration over the pace of resumption.
