We have the latest details on the World Famous Miles City Bucking Horse Sale Horse Racing Derby Days, updates on the markets, news about Columbia banning the importation of U.S. beef, cattle sales and lots more on The Ranch It Up Radio Show.

COLUMBIA RESTRICTS U.S. BEEF IMPORTS DUE TO AVIAN FLU
According to MeatingPlace.com, Colombia issued restrictions on U.S. beef imports due to concerns over dairy cows testing positive for avian influenza, according to a notice from the USDA. The move marks the first instance of a country limiting beef trade due to bird flu in cows. While Colombia's beef imports from the U.S. are relatively small annually, the decision underscores growing concerns over the virus's potential impact. The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) updated its website this week, confirming the ban on beef products originating from cattle slaughtered in states including Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota and Texas (all states that reported cows testing positive. Colombia has temporarily restricted raw bovine meat products, although shipments with valid import permits may still be subject to port delays, the notice said. The news follows the USDA’s Federal Order required testing for interstate movement of dairy cattle and mandatory reporting of positive test results.
