The USDA has announced a phased reopening of U.S. ports to cattle, bison, and equines from Mexico starting July 7, 2025, beginning with the Douglas, Arizona port. This follows significant progress in Mexico’s New World Screwworm (NWS) response, including expanded surveillance, increased sterile fly dispersal (over 100 million per week), and no recent signs of northward NWS spread. USDA officials conducted on-site evaluations and determined that conditions now support limited trade resumption. Further port reopenings in New Mexico and potentially Texas will depend on continued improvements, case monitoring, and enhanced animal health protocols.

Walmart announced the grand opening of its first-ever owned and operated case-ready beef facility in Olathe, Kansas. This milestone reinforces Walmart’s commitment to building a more resilient, transparent and efficient supply chain for Angus beef — helping Walmart provide quality beef options that meet demand and bring tremendous value to customers across the Midwest.

In 2022, Walmart made an equity investment in Sustainable Beef LLC in North Platte, Nebraska, as part of its continued efforts in creating an end-to-end supply chain for Angus beef. Sustainable Beef’s majority ownership is local and producer-centric, with cattle sourced from no more than a 250-mile radius to the plant in a region that has exceptionally high-quality cattle. Now, the newly opened, 300,000+ square-foot, state-of-the-art facility will package and distribute Angus cuts sourced directly from Sustainable Beef LLC to stores across the Midwest, bringing even greater transparency to customers seeking quality beef options at Walmart stores in the region.
