# Cow-Calf Corner | October 17, 2022 | Oklahoma State University

> A Cow-Calf Corner column cites USDA Foreign Agricultural Service data showing Mexico growing as a beef exporter, with over 80% of its exports going to the U.S. It also notes that Mexico was the second-largest source of U.S. beef imports in 2021 at a record 20.2% share. U.S. beef exports to Mexico fell 30% from 2018 to 2021.

## Why it matters

Mexican beef supply to the U.S. and weaker U.S. exports to Mexico both affect the balance of U.S. beef supply and cattle demand. The effect is gradual rather than immediate.
