Mexican cattle are moving into the United States again. The Douglas, Arizona, Port of Entry reopened this past week after being closed for more than a year because of New World screwworm concerns. USDA Under Secretary Dudley Hoskins says strict checks are in place. Cattle are inspected several times, starting 30 days before entering the United States. If screwworm is found, the entire group is turned away. USDA expects only a few hundred cattle to cross each day at first. Before the closure, about 1,200 to 1,500 head could move through daily.
