Season 6, EPISODE 279 What Is New World Screwworm? The New World screw worm (NWS) is the larval stage of the fly Cochliomyia hominivorax. Unlike most fly maggots that feed on dead tissue, screw worm larvae feed on living tissue — making them especially dangerous to cattle and other livestock. The adult fly lays eggs in open wounds, including: Branding or castration sites Dehorning wounds Ear tag punctures Tick bites Navel cords of newborn calves Minor cuts or abrasions Once hatched, larvae burrow into flesh in a screw-like motion — hence the name “screw worm.” Why New World Screwworm Is A Major Threat To Cattle 1. Rapid Tissue Destruction Larvae feed aggressively on living tissue, enlarging wounds quickly. Untreated infestations can lead to: Severe tissue damage Secondary bacterial infections Reduced weight gain Decreased milk production Infertility in breeding stock Death in severe cases 2. High Economic Impact Historically, screw worm outbreaks have cost the livestock industry billions in: Treatment costs Production losses Increased labor Export restrictions Quarantine expenses The successful eradication program in the U.S. — led by the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service — is considered one of the greatest livestock pest control achievements in history. Signs Of Screwworm Infestation In Cattle Early detection is critical. Producers should watch for: Foul-smelling wounds Bloody discharge Sudden irritation or head shaking Reduced feed intake Visible maggots in wounds Rapid wound enlargement Infested cattle often isolate themselves and show signs of distress. Treatment Protocol For Infected Cattle If screw worm is suspected: Immediately isolate the animal Notify state animal health authorities Clean and flush the wound Apply approved larvicidal treatments Monitor closely for reinfestation Reporting is mandatory in many regions because screw worm is a regulated livestock pest. Prevention Strategies For Cattle Producers 1. Wound Management Best Practices Avoid elective procedures during peak fly season Use fly repellents and wound protectants Monitor surgical sites daily 2. Biosecurity Protocols Inspect newly purchased livestock Quarantine imported cattle Monitor wildlife activity around pastures 3. Seasonal Awareness Screw worm risk increases in: Warm climates High humidity Regions with cross-border cattle movement New World Screwworm Information Guide:  Click HERE Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry M.Wayne Ayers, DVM - Elanco Animal Health https://farmanimal.elanco.com/us Follow On Facebook: @ElancoUS   Kirk Donsbach – Financial Analyst at StoneX https://www.stonex.com/ Follow on Facebook: @StoneXGroupInc Shaye Wanner – Host of Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ Follow on Facebook: @cattleconvos Contact Us with Questions or Concerns Have questions or feedback?

Send a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor Podcast your host Downrigger Dale has a truly amazing discussion with business entrepreneur Karl Tyler. Karl had a dream from the time he was in 8th grade, he wanted to own a ranch and raise and sell the best cattle in the world. The problem was he did not have even remotely close to the money needed to buy a ranch let alone cattle. He headed to college to study animal sciences and found out he could not afford to stay in school unless he found a job. He got a job washing cars at a car dealership and with a lot of elbow grease, a can-do spirit and a big dream everything changed. He would later buy that dealership where he washed cars and then another dealership and another and another and, well, you just have to listen. It is an amazing story that will without a doubt inspire you. So, did he ever get that cattle ranch? Oh yeah and wait until you hear about the cattle that are on that ranch. They just might be the best in the world, In fact he is having two huge bull sales coming up on the March 6th at his ranch in Leadore, Idaho and on March 12that the Dillion Livestock Auction. If you are in the cattle business, then these sales are without a doubt a must for you to attend at least one of them either in person or online.

In this episode, Greg Judy shares practical, field-tested insight into successfully grazing sheep and cattle together. Drawing from his experience managing South Poll cattle and parasite-resistant hair sheep across owned and leased farms in Clark, Missouri, Greg explains how multi-species grazing increases profitability, improves pasture health, and simplifies parasite management. Rather than promoting sheep as a standalone enterprise, this episode demonstrates how integrating species creates biological synergy. Greg walks through sourcing adaptable breeding stock, training sheep to respect electric fence, rotational strategies, and even how combining bulls and sheep into a “flerd” can streamline winter management. This conversation is packed with actionable lessons for cattle producers considering adding sheep to diversify income and strengthen pasture performance.

To have these two individuals back on for a post game sort is just flat impressive. To also have the opportunity to do this 2 years in a row with a bright future ahead creates hearts full of gratitude. This post game sort is special and meaningful to a lot of us here at EmpowerU. This platform represents what true character, work ethic and determination looks like while still maintaining integrity and morals. That's the exact definition of this post game sort.

 Brad shares results from a large national research project examining somatic cell count (SCC) and mastitis risk in U.S. organic dairy herds, using more than 2 million DHI test-day records from 430 farms across 31 states. The discussion highlights how SCC is influenced by multiple factors, including cow age, stage of lactation, milk production, breed, season, region, and herd size. Older cows, early-lactation animals, and lower-producing cows were most likely to have elevated SCC, while heat stress—especially during summer months—and larger herd size significantly increased risk. Because organic systems cannot rely on antibiotics, Brad emphasizes prevention strategies such as improved fresh-cow management, heat abatement, careful monitoring of chronic cows, and strong milking hygiene as key tools for controlling mastitis and maintaining milk quality.

China withdrew export registrations in early March 2025 from most U.S. meat facilities, after the Trump administration slapped a series of tariffs on Chinese goods. The licenses were reissued within days for poultry and pork facilities but have remained expired for nearly all beef processors and exporters. Compared to 2024, beef exports by volume were down 12% last year to less than 1.14 million metric tons. The global export decline was nearly 150,000 metric tons, while the loss of volume to China was about 120,000 metric tons. Amid record global beef prices for much of last year, U.S. exports of beef were down 11% by value to $9.33 billion dollars, equivalent to the drop in sales to mainland China. A truce announced at the end of October in the trade war called for China to drop non-tariff barriers to U.S. goods, but the beef export registration issue remains. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling invalidated President Donald Trump's claim of unlimited emergency tariff powers, removing what the White House claimed was important negotiating leverage.

EPISODE 122 DETAILS Smaller Inventories Of Cattle On Feed According to Derrell Peel, Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist and Agricultural Economist with Oklahoma State University, the latest United States Department of Agriculture Cattle on Feed report placed feedlot inventories at 11.505 million head as of February 1. That total is 1.8 percent below year-ago levels and marks the fifteenth straight month of year-over-year declines. January placements fell 4.7 percent compared to last year, while marketings were down 13.0 percent, likely due in part to a winter storm late in the month that pushed some marketings into February. Overall, the report came in largely as expected and offered no significant surprises to the market. Peel also emphasized the structure of the cattle feeding sector. Of the nation's 26,082 feedlots, approximately 24,000 have capacities under 1,000 head. While these smaller operations make up 92 percent of all feedlots, they accounted for only 12.9 percent of total marketings in 2025, averaging fewer than 126 head sold per feedlot. Meanwhile, the 2,082 feedlots with capacities exceeding 1,000 head were responsible for 87.1 percent of the 23.483 million head marketed. Among them, just 7.1 percent — those with more than 32,000 head capacity — marketed 58.8 percent of fed cattle in 2025. In fact, the 82 largest feedlots, each with capacity above 50,000 head, marketed 8.39 million head combined, averaging more than 102,000 head per operation for the year.
