What risks exist from the emerging threat of the New World screwworm? In this latest episode of The Bull Pen, Montie Soules, CEO of the American Shorthorn Association, visits with Dr. Jason Cleere of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. Dr. Cleere discusses the need for industry awareness and preparedness, drawing on his expertise in beef cattle health, nutrition, and extension education at Texas A&M. Cleere explores how and why cattle moving into and out of Texas and other states are free of the parasite, which does not exist in the U.S., and currently represent no threat to herds in other states.
