I hope we stop it from crossing the border. This could be pretty devastating to our cattle and deer herds

There was a steer found positive in Sabinas last summer recently brought up from Chiapas I think it was. That's 70 miles from Laredo, Tx and 70 miles west of Zapata, Texas.
They are coming

I wish those dumbasses would stop moving live cattle North from areas with confirmed cases nearby. They should only be moving frozen meat North at this point. I guess eventually an infected pet will bring the nws into our state from Mexico if not from farm animals.

Those southern cattle could be being pushed by cartel influence. Almost like bio terrorism.

Narco controlled feedlots in southern Mex are the thing and from what I've been told that figures into the situation at hand. Not because it was sabotage thing or intentional spreading, rather that they wouldn't allow proper monitoring/observation and the problem at some of the black dots on the map above were worse than expected.

Yea agree with that. I'd add that the air in certain areas is also controlled by cartel and prevention aircraft may not have access to to all areas of southern Mexico to drop fly boxes.

Some A10 "training flights" would solve that problem if the Mexican gov wasn't run by cartels.

I actually worry more about an infected migratory bird bringing in maggots than livestock.
