With the recent detection of New World screwworm just 70 miles south of Texas’ border, TSCRA remains actively engaged with the USDA, Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to intensify surveillance, coordinate response efforts and prepare cattle raisers and landowners for any potential incursion.

Since last year, TSCRA has supported timely, effective measures to protect the U.S. from a potential incursion of NWS, including increased production of sterile flies. The pest’s continued northward movement underscores the urgency of these efforts, and we thank all who have recognized the threat and contributed to U.S. preparedness. We continue to see unprecedented collaboration among our state and federal partners, and we have full confidence in their ability to implement measures that protect the health of U.S. livestock and wildlife while also ensuring the current speed of commerce.

TSCRA is also supporting these efforts by equipping ranchers and landowners with the knowledge and tools to serve as the first line of defense inside our own borders. To date, we have hosted 12 educational programs teaching ranchers and landowners how to monitor their own herds, implement best management practices and report suspected cases of NWS. In addition, TSCRA has multiple representatives serving on the Texas New World Screwworm Response Team, established under the directive of Texas Governor Greg Abbott. TSCRA is also a founding member of the Screwworm Coalition of Texas where we are working to coordinate response, share resources and ensure ranchers and landowners are prepared should NWS reach our state.

Now is the time to accelerate these efforts. TSCRA will continue to do our part, but we also call on all partners to fully implement and expedite USDA’s five-prong plan. Increasing domestic sterile fly production, limiting cattle movement from infested areas of Mexico and strengthening southern border surveillance must remain top priorities to protect the health of the U.S. livestock and wildlife.

A few of the reasons we avoid summer calves, especially with British and continental breeds.

While there are advantages to having a late summer/fall born beef cattle herd, there are challenges to be addressed just as with a spring born herd.

We recently sent two calves to be processed. Both were spoken for prior to processing. This is a F1 Akaushi/Angus heifer harvested at 27 months with a live weight of 1467 #. Calves were on native rangeland 24/7, had a daily finishing ration after weaning, and hung 21 days.
The steer was 1535 #. Both were high choice.

We spent a fun & full morning out on the range with Shiner Webb of the Texas Grazing Land Coalition. Shiner is working with the Texas Grazing Land Coalition's Resilient Ranch Network. This is our most current EQIP brush management project - grubbing and planting in 2023 and deferring since then. We have had good rains - not the records some are getting, but certainly better than the last 4 years. To put this in perspective - in March of this year we made the decision to completely de-stock if we didn't get rain by May 1. It was close...we are grateful.
This seed mix included Little & Big bluestem, Indiangrass, Switchgrass (Blackwell), Sideoats, Plains bristlegrass, Sand dropseed, Maximillian sunflower, Illinois bundleflower, Bush sunflower, Indian blanket, Partridge pea and purple prairie clover.
Glad to be a part of this!

Small farms have been hit hard by the growth of large agriculture operations. Scores have gone out of business. For African-American farmers, it's even more dire: In the last 100 years, they have lost almost 90% of their acreage, an estimated $326 billion worth of land. One small-town Texas woman ha...
