On the 11th, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Reynolds announced that the United States will temporarily suspend the import of live cattle, horses, and bison from Mexico due to concerns about livestock being infected with screw-worm disease. The U.S. Department of Agriculture stated in a statement released on the 11th that this ban will be "implemented on a month-by-month basis." According to Reynolds, the U.S. livestock industry took 30 years to recover after the last invasion of this highly destructive pest.
