US reopens Mexico border to cattle amid record beef prices

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The U.S. is set to reopen a border crossing in Arizona to Mexican cattle on Monday, a move aimed at mitigating record-high beef prices. This decision follows concerns over the New World screwworm parasite, which had led to the closure of the border to livestock imports in May 2025. Despite the reopening, economists are skeptical about the immediate impact on consumer prices, as the U.S. cattle herd is at its smallest in 75 years, and the phased reopening will take time to restore traditional import levels.
