The United States has resumed Mexican cattle imports through ports in Arizona and New Mexico, but Texas ports remain closed to those shipments. Ranchers in Tamaulipas say the long detour reduces access to U.S. buyers, while plans for a crossing near Los Indios remain subject to Mexican and U.S. approvals.
Limited crossings restrict Mexican cattle supply reaching Texas buyers and sustain friction in cross-border livestock trade. Expanded access could increase cattle availability and ease pressure on prices, while the current limits are supportive for U.S. cattle prices.
