USDA announced a phased reopening of southern cattle ports beginning Aug. 24, contingent on Mexico's adherence to the Joint Action Plan. The Douglas, Ariz., port — which borders the Mexican state of Sonora — will be the first to reopen, with Santa Teresa and Columbus, N.M., to follow depending on progress. Every animal entering the US will undergo a full USDA inspection for New World screwworm (NWS).
