Cattle & Agriculture Industry News
Former USDA Counsel Named Deputy Ag Secretary
A veteran of the first Trump administration's agriculture team has been named to be deputy secretary of the USDA.
President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of Stephen Vaden to be deputy under Brooke Rollins, a former think tank executive already tapped to head the USDA.
A Yale law graduate, Vaden served as USDA general counsel from 2018-2020, when he was confirmed to a judicial appointment on the U.S. Court of International Trade. He has served as a board member of the Commodity Credit Corp.
CDC Confirms Nations First Severe H5N1 Infection Of Human
A patient in Louisiana was hospitalized with a severe case of avian influenza (H5N1), marking the first instance in the United States of severe illness linked to the virus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced today in a news release and press call.
CDC said the Louisiana patient, one of 61 human cases to occur in the United States since April, was infected with a D1.1 virus recently detected in wild birds and poultry in the U.S. and in recent human cases in British Columbia, Canada, and in the state of Washington.
Officials noted the D1.1 strain of H5N1 is different from the B3.13 genotype detected in dairy cows, sporadic human cases in multiple states, and some poultry outbreaks in the U.S.  No person-to-person spread of H5 bird flu has been detected.
California State Of Emergency, New Human Infections, Canadian Struggles all due to H5N1
Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a state of emergency in an effort to streamline the Golden State’s response to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Several California agencies have developed coordinated responses to address and minimize farm worker exposures, lower raw dairy product contamination and mitigate the spread of the virus, the governor said in a statement: He said “This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak.” About 680 dairy farms are under quarantine from HPAI outbreaks, while 6.2 million birds have been hit and 36 people infected across California.
A commercial poultry worker in northwest Iowa is now the first confirmed human case of HPAI in the Hawkeye State, according to the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (Iowa HHS). An estimated 6.7 million birds have been affected in more than a dozen counties across Iowa, according to USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that more than 13.9 million birds have been impacted by HPAI in the most recent tally of the spread of H5N1 infections across nine provinces. British Columbia is reporting the highest number of HPAI cases among 8.3 million birds. New Brunswick has the lowest number of birds affected by avian influenza with fewer than 100 birds at two locations being confirmed with the virus.
Beef Processor Fined For Odor Violations
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) fined STX Beef Company $200,000 for violations linked to foul odors coming from its Corpus Christi facility, according to a local report.
The penalty follows years of complaints about smells traced to cattle processing and wastewater management issues. TCEQ also cited equipment failures, inadequate scrubber systems and poor recordkeeping.
Of the fine, $2,000 is already paid, with $40,000 due soon. Over $80,000 will support Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi’s AutoCheck program, addressing regional vehicle emissions.
The company has 30 days to submit an odor control plan, including equipment repairs and new systems, and must comply with air quality rules for five years.
Corporate Transparency Act Reporting Requirement Will Return Due to Court Ruling
Producers pay attention now.  The Corporate Transparency Act filing requirements are back in effect following a court decision that reverses the injunction that previously halted this mandate. 
NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Bacus said that The Corporate Transparency Act requires millions of family farmers and ranchers to file complex paperwork and disclose beneficial ownership information with the federal government under penalty of severe fines and jail time.
Earlier last week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a nationwide preliminary injunction on the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act, holding that the government is likely to prevail in a constitutional challenge. This decision places many small businesses in jeopardy that have not yet filed Beneficial Ownership Information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 
In light of the Fifth Circuit’s decision, FinCEN announced it will delay enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act until January 13, 2025.  It is highly recommended to visit with your accountant, tax professionals, and or attorneys on exactly what needs to be filled and where.

EPISODE 62 DETAILS
Global Concern Over Avian Influenza In Mammals
WOAH Raises Concern Over High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Mammals, Including U.S. Dairy Cattle
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) has issued an urgent warning regarding the increasing spread of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) to mammals, including dairy cattle in the United States. As of November 2024, the virus has been detected in over 30 mammalian species, with cases projected to rise in the Northern Hemisphere through February.
HPAI’s Impact on Mammals and Dairy Cattle
Recent studies reveal that raw milk from HPAI-infected cows poses significant risks, as the virus can transmit to other animals, including poultry and cats. This finding underscores the critical need for immediate and stringent measures to prevent the spread of this zoonotic disease.
Public Health Risk: Low but Requires Vigilance
WOAH emphasizes that, while the public health risk from HPAI remains low, the situation demands proactive efforts from nations worldwide. The organization recommends several key actions to mitigate risks:
Enhance Surveillance: Monitor birds and cattle closely for HPAI symptoms.
Accurate Diagnoses: Ensure HPAI is considered when livestock exhibit compatible symptoms.
Timely Reporting: Promptly notify WOAH of any unusual cases in mammals.
Strengthen Biosecurity: Implement strict biosecurity measures, including restrictions on raw milk from infected animals.
Preventing Trade Disruptions and Promoting Research
WOAH has cautioned against imposing unnecessary trade restrictions in response to HPAI, urging adherence to its established international standards. Collaborative research is ongoing to deepen the understanding of the virus's pathogenesis and transmission routes.
Global Collaboration to Combat HPAI
WOAH remains committed to supporting global efforts against HPAI through technical updates, partnerships, and international cooperation. These measures aim to mitigate the risks posed by this evolving virus and safeguard both animal and human health.
Stay informed about the latest developments in HPAI prevention and containment by following updates from WOAH and related authorities.

Prevent Scours This Upcoming Calving Season Plus Cattle Industry News
How To Prevent Calf Scours: Feed Farmatan
Feed Farmatan To Prevent Scours This Calving Season
Calving season is getting ready to start for many producers and for some others it is still a ways away yet.  Regardless, we need to get a jump on scours and make sure each and every calf that hits the ground has the best chance of survival.  A simple solution… FARMATAN from Imogene Ingredients.  
WHAT CAUSES SCOURS IN BEEF CATTLE/CALVES
Clostridia-Enterotoxemia
The most common form of Clostridium in cattle is caused by Clostridia perfringens. The gram-positive bacteria are a challenge due to its ability to form spores and lay dormant for long-periods of time. The bacteria reproduce by releasing spores into its environment (soil, feed, manure). The spores can even lay dormant in the animal’s intestine until opportunity presents itself. Infection takes place either through ingestion of spores or through an open wound. The most severe cases happen within the first month of a calf’s life, and can result in sudden death.
Clinical Signs
Diarrhea - Bloody, Mucus Present, Bubbly
Dehydrated
Bloat
Blindness
Prevention/Treatment: Prevention can be difficult due to the Clostridia spores being extremely durable and present almost everywhere. Complete cleanout and disinfection between calves is helpful, but not always effective. A good vaccination program will reduce clinical disease. The best method is to develop good gut health and the immune system of the calf. Farmatan has been shown to strengthen the intestinal wall, helping to prevent infection from taking hold.
Coccidiosis
Cattle are host to numerous species of Coccidia, a single-celled protozoal parasite. Infection and clinical symptoms can happen any time during a calf’s life, with the most severe reaction usually occurring between 3-6 weeks of age. The life-cycle of coccidia requires time to infect the intestine causing destruction of the mucosal and epithelial lining. The oocytes mature outside the host in warm, moist environments before being consumed, causing infection of a new host.
Clinical Signs
Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody
Depression
Weight Loss
Prevention/Treatment: Prevention of Coccidiosis is possible by keeping young calves separate from older animals, providing clean water and feed, and dry conditions. Isolation of infected animals is key to preventing transmission. Keeping the pen dry is the most important step a farmer/rancher can take in preventing Coccidiosis. Treatment can have a good impact on reducing secondary disease, and speeding up recovery time. Farmatan has been shown to disrupt the reproductive cycle of Coccidia; and may help strengthen the intestinal wall to prevent infection, in both the cow and calf.
Coronavirus
Bovine Coronavirus is a ubiquitous, envelope-viral disease, causing respiratory and enteric infection. There are many serotypes for this virus, making it difficult to test for, and create a vaccine. Coronavirus can present as either diarrhea and/or respiratory illness; transmitted through nasal discharge and/or feces. Animal reservoirs continue to spread the disease, and make eradication almost impossible. Clinical disease will likely occur between days 10-14, and present for up to 4 days.
Clinical Signs
Diarrhea - Watery
Nasal Discharge
Coughing
Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is difficult due to wild animals transmitting the disease. Keeping wild animals out of animal enclosures is essential. Isolation of infected animals is critical to preventing the spread of Coronavirus. Adequate colostrum intake, along with a good vaccination program will help prevent clinical disease. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmtan’s active ingredient on Coronavirus HERE.
Cryptosporidium
Cryptosporidium Parvum is a single-celled parasite responsible for causing infection in young calves. The infection takes place within the first four weeks of a calves’ life, afterwards immunity has developed within the calf. The parasite is either passed from the cow or spread through infected water sources.
Clinical Signs
Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody, Mucus present
Colic
Depression
Prevention/Treatment: Good sanitary conditions, especially clean water is essential in preventing transmission of cryptosporidium. Isolation of sick calves will help reduce the effect on the overall herd. There is some good effect of calves given adequate colostrum, however this is likely helping by reducing other pathogenic loads rather than a direct effect on Cryptosporidium, itself. Farmatan fed prior to calving has been shown to disrupt the life-cycle and reduce transmission from the cow. The direct action of Farmatan on the parasite makes it an excellent choice for treating calves. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan’s active ingredient HERE.
 
E Coli
Escherichia Coli is a bacterial infection that affects calves within the first week of their life. The bacteria colonize in the lower intestine and produce a toxin. The toxin causes excessive secretion of fluids. The zoonotic disease has special importance in food safety and human health. Colostrum and natural immunity are often not sufficient in preventing infection in cases of high bacterial concentrations.
Clinical Signs
Diarrhea - Creamy, Yellow
Abdominal Pains
Fever
Vomiting
Prevention/Treatment: The best prevention methods for E. Coli include: clean water, dry bedding/environment, isolation of infected animals, and vaccination. Treatment with antibiotics and oral fluids have great benefits in reducing clinical symptoms of the disease. Farmatan has been shown to reduce bacterial load and help prevent infection. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmatan’s active ingredient HERE.
Rotavirus
Rotavirus in calves is caused by a virus belonging to the Reoviridae family, as a non-envelope RNA virus. Rotavirus is thought to be the most common cause of neonatal diarrhea in calves. The virus tends to affect calves between the age of 1-day-old up to a month, with most cases presenting within the first week of life. Shedding and reinfection can happen in older calves and cows. Clinical symptoms are rarely present after the first month of life; older animals tend to either be carriers or asymptomatic. The majority of herds have some level present, with transmission likely happening during or shortly after birth.
Clinical Signs
Diarrhea - Pale Yellow, Bloody
Dehydrated
Dull calves
Reluctant to drink
Prevention/Treatment: The ideal scenario is to prevent infection through, sanitary facilities (calving barn), outdoor calf housing, and a good vaccination program. Colostrum will provide much needed antibodies, protecting the calf before their immune system is fully developed to combat the disease. Farmatan fed prior to calving can help reduce the pathogen load of the cow, reducing the likelihood of transmission. Farmatan supplemented in the milk has been shown to decrease the virus’ ability to cause infection and clinical disease. The best treatment for calves already presenting clinical disease is to administer oral fluids/electrolytes to rehydrate the calf. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan’s active ingredient HERE.
Salmonella
Salmonella infection of cattle is caused by a variety of species within the family. While the disease is uncommon in cattle with little effect on calf health, it has massive implications for human health and food safety. The bacteria spreads through direct contact or contaminated feed & water. This disease is highly regulated by the USDA. The most severe cases of salmonella affect calves between the ages of 7-10 days old.
Clinical Signs
Diarrhea - Bloody (flakes of slough tissue), Watery, Mucus present
Lethargic
Fever
Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is always the best option: provide clean water, feed, and bedding. Isolate infected animals, ensure adequate colostrum intake, and develop a vaccination program with your veterinarian. Treatment with antibiotics and fluids (oral or intravenous) greatly increases the survival rate of calves infected with Salmonella. Farmatan has been shown to help reduce the likelihood of infection by protecting the gut, and reduce recovery time of infected animals.

Cattle Industry News
USDA Gives Bleak Timeline For Mexico Cattle Restrictions
According to MeatingPlace.Com, the USDA has confirmed there will be no holiday gifts for Mexican cattle producers this year.
Earlier this month, APHIS restricted all Mexican animal commodity imports following the detection of New World screwworm (NWS) in a cow in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. Mexico’s chief veterinary officer alerted USDA in late November.
Dr. Rosemary Sifford, the agency’s chief veterinary officers, stated to media that APHIS’s restrictions will “likely” remain in place through the holidays, with “full resumption of live animal movements” after incremental changes in early 2025. She went on to say that while the U.S. continues to work very closely with Mexico and has agreed to protocols, it will take some time to implement these due to multiple steps needed to resume trade.
Additionally, USDA announced $165 million in emergency funding to protect U.S. livestock from NWS, which are fly larvae that infest living tissue and cause infection.
Canada Plans For U.S. Trade War
Canada’s federal and state governments are planning measures in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with provincial leaders to discuss retaliatory actions.
Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said after the meeting that "a number of premiers spoke out strongly in favour of a robust Canadian response to unjustified tariffs."
In a social media post last month, Trump accused Canada and Mexico of allowing drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States and vowed to slap a 25% tariff on imports from both neighbors immediately on taking office on Jan. 20. Such an act would contradict the 2020 US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a modest update of the preceding North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which Trump signed during his previous term in the White House.
 
Low U.S. Beef Inventory Argues Against Tariffs
A former Canadian Cattle Association president Dave Solverson has urged farmers north of the border to utilize their relationships with fellow beef producers to try to counter US President-elect Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs.
Solverson said with herds in both countries at their smallest in many decades, extending possible 25% tariffs on Canadian imports makes little sense in the beef business. He said sales of Canadian stock to U.S. packers and feedlot operators are an important source to fill in increasing production gaps especially in northern states, according to Solverson, who led the Canadian Cattle Association from 2014-16.
Solverson recalled that the community of North American beef producers forged alliances a decade ago to oppose mandatory country-of-origin labelling. Those coalitions with both state and national producer groups “really proved beneficial for both sides,” he said. Canadian farmers were able to convince their U.S. counterparts “about how important it was that they could top up their pens with a good group of Canadian cattle.”
Questions About USDA’s Electronic EID Requirements Answered
There are still lots of questions about USDA’s Electronic EID requirements and if you are confused don’t worry you are not alone.

EPISODE 60 DETAILS
Dollars Allocated To Help Producers With New World Screwworm
New World Screwworm & How Dollars Are Protecting Livestock Owners
USDA’s Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced $165 million in emergency funding to protect livestock and other animals from New World screwworm (NWS) and boost the agency’s efforts to control its spread in Mexico and Central America.
The move comes after APHIS restricted the import of animal commodities from Mexico due to detection of NWS in a cow in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. It was a step northward for NWS, which over the last two years has spread throughout Panama and into Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala.
APHIS is working with partners in Mexico and Central America to stop the spread of NWS into the United States and asking all producers along the southern border to watch their livestock and pets for signs of NWS and to immediately report potential cases to their local veterinarian, State Veterinarian’s Office, or APHIS Veterinary Services.
The fly larvae can infest warm blooded animals such as cattle, causing wounds that can lead to infection. A biological barrier can be created by mating sterilized male screwworm flies with females in areas where NWS is detected. This initiative can decrease or even eliminate populations of screwworm flies.

Cattle Industry News
NCBA Endorsed Disaster Tax Relief Bill, Passes Senate
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) thanked the U.S. Senate for passing the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act. In addition to providing much needed relief to victims of hurricanes, this legislation would provide tax relief for cattle producers who received payments due to wildfires. Previously, these payments counted as taxable income, meaning producers who already suffered from disasters were hurt again by having their relief payments taxed.
The Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act addresses limitations in casualty losses and allows producers to take greater deductions for disaster related losses. Additionally, the bill excludes any payments received due to a “qualified wildfire disaster” from being counted as income for federal tax purposes. The bill also retroactively applies to any wildfire payments received in tax years 2020 through 2025. Producers will have the opportunity to file with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for relief payments received in these previous years.  The complete bill can be reviewed HERE.
Cattlemen Relieved By Court Decision To Halt Corporate Transparency Act
Many producers hailed the issuance of a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking the Corporate Transparency Act from being enforced on January 1, 2025. This ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas protects millions of family farmers and ranchers from onerous reporting requirements imposed by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
We’ve talked about The Corporate Transparency Act in great detail a few episodes back and remember that every producers’ situation is different, and this information should not be construed as professional advice. Always consult your attorney and/or tax professional to determine how the Corporate Transparency Act impacts you.  You can go back  and listen to episode 213 for additional information.

EPISODE 59 DETAILS
Bovine Tuberculosis Discovered In South Dakota & USDA Dietary Guidelines
Tuberculosis Found In South Dakota Cattle Herd
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) has been confirmed in South Dakota for the first time since 2021. According to State Veterinarian Dr. Beth Thompson, the infected steer was initially identified in late October by meat inspectors during routine inspection at a Wisconsin packing plant. Records linked the steer to a Hamlin County feedlot which had marketed the animal. 
The State Veterinarian’s office is working closely with the feedlot owner as well as other producers who may have sold animals purchased by the feedlot, USDA officials, and area veterinarians to locate the steer’s source herd. Necessary precautions are being taken to protect the health of South Dakota’s cattle industry. Bovine TB is not currently a threat to food safety in the United States, thanks to milk pasteurization and comprehensive meat inspection programs. Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic, slowly progressive respiratory disease of cattle. Infected animals may transmit infection to other animals when in close proximity for prolonged periods. Cattle rarely exhibit visible signs of illness. The US has nearly eliminated bovine TB due to a cooperative eradication campaign and South Dakota has officially been recognized as free of the disease since 1982.
Criticisms To The New Scientific Report On USDA Dietary Guidelines
The 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is providing access to a new Scientific Report that will assist two government agencies to develop the final Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025-2030, which is expected to be published late next year.
Several cattle organizations including The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) quickly responded to the report’s recommendation that nutrition guidelines incorporate reduced consumption of red meat. NCBA President Mark Eisele said in a statement that the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee ignored robust and rigorous scientific evidence about beef’s essential nutrients and the foundational, positive role it plays in health as a preferred protein food in a variety of healthy diets for all Americans.
The committee is offering the Scientific Report online and offers its “independent, evidence-based findings and advice” for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the USDA. The report, along with public comments and federal agency input, will inform the departments as they prepare the final document for publication. The Committee says it is focused on health equity to ensure that factors like socioeconomic position, race, ethnicity and culture are considered to the greatest extent possible when it comes to establishing the most effective report for all Americans.
HHS and USDA plan to launch a 60-day public comment period and are encouraging the public to provide written comments on the committee’s Scientific Report, the agencies said in the announcement referencing the online document, which is available HERE.

Top Cattle Industry Headlines
U.S. Tightens Import Restrictions After Screwworm Detection
The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has restricted animal imports from Mexico after detecting New World screwworm (NWS) in a cow in Chiapas, Mexico. NWS larvae infest living tissue in warm-blooded animals, causing severe infections.
Producers along the U.S.-Mexico border should monitor livestock and pets for signs such as draining wounds or discomfort and report any suspected cases to a veterinarian immediately.
To combat the pest's spread, APHIS is deploying sterile flies and intensifying efforts in Central America. "With this detection, we will intensify measures to protect American agriculture," said Dr. Rosemary Sifford, U.S. Chief Veterinary Officer.
NWS has recently spread northward due to increased cattle movement, disrupting biological barriers in the region. The USDA continues collaborating with Central American partners to contain and eradicate this threat.
Mexico Threatens Trade war If Trump Implements Tariffs
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has criticized President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariff on Mexican imports, warning it could spark inflation, harm cross-border businesses, and lead to a trade war. Trump announced the tariffs as part of his immigration and drug enforcement policies, citing record illegal crossings.
Sheinbaum, in office for just seven weeks, highlighted the risks in a letter to Trump, emphasizing the potential impact on industries like automotive and U.S. meat exports. According to the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF), duty-free trade with Mexico has been crucial for export growth, with U.S. beef exports up 13% and pork exports up 7% year-over-year through September.
Sheinbaum urged a meeting with Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to address trade and migration concerns. Meanwhile, Trump defended the tariffs, linking them to stricter immigration and drug policies.
New Tariffs May Provide Financial Boost for U.S. Food Producers
The Trump administration’s plan to impose a 25% tariff on imports from North American neighbors and China could yield unexpected benefits for U.S. food producers, according to J.P. Morgan analyst Ken Goldman.
While tariffs are expected to raise inflation and food prices, retaliatory measures could reduce global demand for U.S. crops like corn, soybeans, and wheat. This decline may lower domestic crop prices, offering cost savings to U.S. producers and potentially boosting profit margins.
Goldman noted that U.S. manufacturers, less reliant on imported crops, could see these savings offset the negative impacts of tariffs on other goods.
Tyson To Close Beef/Pork Facility In Kansas
Tyson Foods announced the closure of its beef and pork non-harvest processing facility in Emporia, Kansas, impacting 809 employees. The plant is set to shut down by February 14, as part of Tyson’s strategy to consolidate operations and boost efficiency.
Operations will shift to Tyson’s Holcomb plant near Garden City, according to company officials. Tyson stated it is working with state and local agencies to support affected employees.
Despite the closure, Tyson continues to employ over 5,000 team members at its other Kansas facilities.
2025 Hot Culinary Trends Revealed
The National Restaurant Association’s 2025 Culinary Forecast highlights East Asian flavors as a major trend. Korean, Vietnamese, and Filipino cuisines ranked highest in the survey of nearly 300 U.S. food industry professionals. These cuisines also dominated the ingredients, flavors, and condiments categories. 
“With diners seeking sustainable choices and bold global flavors, restaurants are offering locally sourced ingredients and creative menu options,” said Chad Moutray, Vice President of the Association.
Other key trends include:
Sustainability and local sourcing
Mushrooms
Hot honey
Fermented and pickled foods
Value-focused menu deals
The report reflects evolving consumer priorities, including convenience, creativity, and efficiency, as operators adapt to economic and labor challenges.
