Paraguay Beef & Raven Angus
EPISODE 7 DETAILS
OUR TOP NEWS STORIES
Not a bad day in South Dakota. Raven Angus held their annual Customer Appreciation and Bred Heifer sale at the ranch just east of Colome, SD. The sale offering consisted of a select group of registered bred heifers and a large group of commercial heifers. The commercial heifers either originated from the Raven Angus cowherd or had been purchased from top producers in the area, many which have utilized Raven Angus genetics. All were either AI bred to Raven Angus sired or pasture bred to Raven Angus bulls. 10 Registered Angus Bred Heifers averaged $5,575, 617 Commercial Angus Heifers averaged $2,976 and 3 Ranch Horses averaged $11,833.
According to the Tri-State Livestock News, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig and seven other Secretaries, Commissioners, and Directors of Agriculture from Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska, and Wyoming sent a letter today to United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack raising concerns about a new rule allowing for the importation of beef from Paraguay.
The group of agriculture officials is asking the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to pause the implementation of the Importation of Fresh Beef from Paraguay final rule. Given that the South American country has a history of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD), and that the severe and highly transmissible disease could pose a significant threat to our nation’s critical livestock sector as well as the beef production system in the United States, the state leaders are asking for a more current and reliable risk assessment to be completed.
