Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is hosting a webinar on November 17 at 7:00 p.m., with participation from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The session will focus on bovine tuberculosis (bTB) and what it means for Alberta’s cattle industry. Presenters will provide background on the disease, share the latest information on the current bTB trace-in, and discuss what producers need to know moving forward. “This webinar is a great opportunity for producers to hear directly about how investigations like this work, what steps are taken by CFIA and industry, and how producers can stay informed,” says Karin Schmid, ABP’s Beef Production and Extension Lead. Titled “Bovine Tuberculosis: The Bacterial Ninja,” the session will focus on information relevant to primary producers, including an overview of the investigation process, common questions from producers, and resources for those seeking additional information or support.

However, she is pleased with Mexico’s efforts to contain the pest. Rollins, in Mexico City for meetings with officials including President Claudia Sheinbaum, said that President Donald Trump was “very focused” on reopening the border, which has been largely closed to Mexican livestock since May. Rollins, who declined to give a time frame for reopening the border, said she would speak to top U.S. officials about the issue on Wednesday and would have more conversations about screwworm with Trump. Mexico has been working to contain the outbreak, which has spread northward from Central America, rattling the livestock and beef industries of both the U.S. and Mexico.
