# Editorial: Protecting cattle from pest and disease - Texas Border Business

> J.D. Cage, a Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association director, writes about protecting herds from pests and disease. He highlights a legislative push after the 87th Texas Legislature to address inspection gaps at Texas's nine export-import facilities along the Mexican border, where U.S. cattle are staged before Mexican entry.

## Why it matters

Tighter inspection and funding at border export facilities could affect the flow of U.S. cattle to Mexico, a modest factor for feeder cattle pricing. The impact on prices is limited because the piece is advocacy rather than a new trade restriction.
