Summary
On today’s episode of the podcast, Lauren is joined by John Campbell to discuss the breaking news that a case of New World Screwworm has officially been confirmed in South Texas. John breaks down what we know so far, what this means for cattle producers, how the USDA is responding, and why consumers should not panic about the safety of the beef supply. The conversation covers the biology of screwworm, the challenges large ranches may face if infestations spread, potential market reactions, and the importance of communicating accurate information as news of the confirmation continues to circulate across the country. As always, John brings his unique mix of insight, humor, and straight talk to one of the biggest cattle industry stories of the year.
