📰 News we're reading

1. Daily Livestock Report: Feeder Cattle Prices Rebound From Recent Lows (meatingplace.com) — Cattle imports through the Santa Teresa port of entry have resumed after last week’s reopening, though volumes are still far below the roughly 10,000–11,000 head per week seen before the closure. The report explains how this gradual ramp-up, alongside activity at Douglas, Arizona, is beginning to ease feeder cattle supplies and support a modest rebound in Southern Plains feeder prices.
   

2. Another port reopens to cattle from Mexico amid NWS cases nearby (avma.org) — Livestock imports through the Santa Teresa port of entry have restarted under tight veterinary inspections, with cattle from San Jerónimo, Chihuahua entering in limited numbers as screwworm cases persist nearby. Officials detail new safeguards on the Mexican side and stress that any sign of New World screwworm would immediately halt crossings, while Columbus, New Mexico is expected to follow in the phased reopening.
   

3. Retired El Paso priest Msgr. Arturo Bañuelas to be honored for decades of service; county denies sheriff's overtime for Usher concert (elpasomatters.org) — Border residents should know that the Santa Teresa port of entry has just reopened to livestock imports even as officials confirmed the year’s first wild screwworm fly in West Texas, signaling ongoing disease risk along the region. The broader roundup also covers El Paso-area public health alerts, education initiatives, and local government debates that may indirectly affect Santa Teresa commuters and workers.
   

4. U.S. Adds Just 29,000 Jobs as Revisions Deepen Hiring Concerns (agbull.com) — Santa Teresa’s cattle port saw only 200 head cross on October 1, far below the hundreds per day New Mexico officials anticipated as Mexican feeder imports slowly resume. That light volume, alongside no new screwworm detections, leaves local ranchers and feeders watching closely to see whether this is a temporary lull or a sign of slower-than-hoped supply recovery.
