The Los Angeles Times reports that Mexico is resuming cattle exports to the US while US herds are at their lowest count in 75 years, with a shortfall of about 1.2 million cows. Screwworm controls and herd rebuilding are slowing recovery, contributing to a surge in beef prices.
A shrinking cow herd limits beef supply, so prices are likely to stay elevated even as imports resume, with the import flow only partly offsetting the shortage.
