In September 2026, Mexican beef and veal shipments to the United States were 17% higher than in September 2024, while U.S. imports of Mexican feeder cattle were only about 16% of their 2024 level. Veterinary restrictions tied to New World screwworm have sharply reduced cattle movements, prompting U.S. buyers to import more beef instead; border crossings have begun reopening gradually.
Fewer Mexican feeder cattle can tighten supplies for U.S. feedlots and support feeder-cattle prices, while increased beef imports partly cushion the impact on beef availability.
