The U.S. is reopening a border crossing in Arizona to let Mexican cattle back in — part of a bold move to combat soaring beef prices by flooding the market with tariff-free imports for 90 days. This follows a year-long closure to stop the spread of deadly screwworm, which nearly crippled the industry. With the nation’s cattle herd at a 75-year low and shrinking due to years of decline, supply is tight — though efficiency gains mean more meat per animal. Strict inspections ensure no screwworm-infected animals enter, protecting the industry while rebuilding supply chains. But don’t expect grocery store prices to drop anytime soon: cows take time to breed, and heifers are scarce — this is a long game.
