📰 News we're reading

• AgriLife Extension economist: Cattle prices haven't hit the ceiling yet (tamu.edu) — Santa Teresa’s port of entry, the nation’s largest gateway for Mexican cattle, is expected to reopen soon and again handle more than 500,000 head a year, shaping local and regional cattle flows. A Texas A&M economist says tighter U.S. herds, drought, and gradual border reopenings mean high cattle prices are likely to persist for several years.
   

• USDA Announces Phased Reopening of Southern Ports for Livestock Trade (ruralmessenger.com) — Santa Teresa’s livestock port of entry is slated for reopening after the Douglas, Arizona crossing proves successful, potentially restoring cross-border cattle, bison, and horse traffic that drives the local economy. USDA will phase in openings based on Mexico’s progress against New World screwworm, with strict inspections and the option to pause if disease risks rise.
   

• NFR Team Roping Cattle: More Steers, Likely Natives (teamropingjournal.com) — Santa Teresa is highlighted as one of the key historic crossings for Mexican roping steers headed to U.S. rodeos, though it remains closed for now. With border restrictions still limiting Mexican cattle, this year’s National Finals Rodeo will likely rely on more U.S.-native steers and a larger, more evenly used herd to keep competition fair.
