Learn how to identify and treat New World screwworm in pets, horses and livestock. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! New World Screwworm Discovered in the USA  Featured Guest: M. Wayne Ayers, DMV from Elanco Animal Health How To Identify And What To Do To Treat New World Screwworm The name screwworm refers to the maggots' feeding behavior as they burrow (screw) into the wound, feeding as they go like a screw being driven into wood. Maggots cause extensive damage by tearing at the hosts' tissue with sharp mouth hooks. The wound can become larger and deepen as more maggots hatch and feed on living tissue. As a result, NWS can cause serious, often deadly damage to the animal. Adult screwworm flies are about the size of a common housefly (or slightly larger). They have orange eyes, a metallic blue or green body, and three dark stripes along their backs. Report mammals and birds with the following signs: Irritated behavior Head shaking The smell of decay Presence of fly larvae (maggots) in wounds Click Here For Updated Information on New World Screwworm: screwworm.gov OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

The Department of Agriculture is leading the coordinated response to combat New World screwworm (NWS) in the United States. USDA's response brings multiple federal, state and Tribal agencies together with industry and territorial partners. In this episode, hear South Dakota State Veterinarian Dr. Mendel Miller talk about the NWS fly and larvae, tell-tale signs an animal has the larvae and how current transportation regulations should help lower the chances of the fly moving very far, very fast around the U.S.   USDA's screwworm.gov website says: While the current risk to animals and people is very low, protecting U.S. livestock and wildlife is a national security priority. This is not a food safety issue—the U.S. food supply remains safe. The United States has defeated NWS before—together, we will do it again.

The purpose: to spotlight North America's top livestock auctioneers and to salute their traditionally important role in the competitive livestock marketing process. Auctioneers from the United States and Canada came to the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Denver, Colorado to show off their auctioneering talents. Twenty-three contestants sold the same 20 head of cattle over and over again. The contest was held at hotels until 1967, when it traveled to its first LMA member market. Since then the WLAC has been held at member markets around the U.S. and Canada. Recent locations include Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia. Though the rules have changed, the enthusiasm for the competition hasn't. The largest number of entrants in the contest to date was in 1981 when LMA received 105 auctioneer entries. The championship consists of three stages, the qualifying event, semifinals and the finals, held each June in conjunction with the LMA Annual Convention. Contestants competing for the world champion title must be 18 years old, employed as a livestock auctioneer and sponsored by livestock auction or dealer businesses, who share in the favorable publicity generated by the winners. LMA is proud to sponsor an event that brings together North America's top livestock auctioneers in a competition that showcases professionalism and promotes the auction method of marketing.

Mike and Jeff discuss the current state of the NWS virus and more.

Futures higher; cash steady; boxed beef mixed; cash feeders steady; more NWS cases.

While many farmers and ranchers had hoped New World screwworm (NWS) would stay well south of the U.S.-Mexico border, we're now all aware that wasn't in the cards for American cattlemen. With a few days to let that news sink in behind us, our attention turns to one question: Now what?Right off the bat we want to share something USDA, APHIS and the Texas Animal Health Commission have already stated: A) No one needs to panic. There is a plan in place, and we know how to eradicate this pest. B) NWS is an animal health issue, not a food safety issue. Meat remains safe to eat, and treated and inspected cattle can continue to move from affected areas.Tracking potential spread within the U.S., how to protect our herds and what the near future might look like for cattle movement in affected areas are top of mind. To help our listeners navigate this new information, Angus Beef Bulletin associate editor Lynsey McAnally was joined by Jennifer Koziol, associate professor of food animal medicine and surgery at Texas Tech University on the morning of Tues., June 9, to discuss recent announcements and what cattlemen need to keep in mind for the near future related to NWS.Additional resources: Screwworm.govConfirmed NWS Cases in the U.S. Current NWS Status in the U.S.Report a Suspected NWS Case U.S. NWS Response PlaybookSubscribe to the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRAThank you to GeneMax® Advantage™ for their sponsorship of this episode. Have questions or comments?

The Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940: The Storm That Killed the Duck HuntersWeather With Enthusiasm — Episode 8 | Kol Simcha Productions===========================================EPISODE SUMMARY===========================================On the morning of November 11, 1940 — Armistice Day — thousands of duck hunters across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois headed to the Mississippi River. The temperature was in the mid-50s. The sky was blue. The birds were flying. By nightfall, 154 people were dead.A rapidly deepening low-pressure system — one of the most intense ever recorded in the Midwest — exploded out of the Texas Panhandle and roared northeast. Temperatures plunged 30°F in hours. Winds reached 80 mph. The Mississippi ran 5-foot waves. Duck hunters stranded on river islands froze to death overnight. Three freighters sank on Lake Michigan. It remains one of the deadliest winter storms in American history.===========================================KEY FACTS===========================================Date: November 11–12, 1940Region: Texas Panhandle northeast through Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Lake MichiganTotal deaths: 154 (some estimates up to 210) - ~85 duck hunters (Mississippi River valley) - 66 sailors (Lake Michigan — SS Anna C. Minch, SS William B. Davock, SS Novadoc) - Remaining: motorists, train passengers, farmersMeteorological details: - Bombogenesis: pressure deepened explosively from Texas Panhandle on Nov 10 - Record low pressures: Charles City IA 28.92 inHg · La Crosse WI 28.72 inHg · Duluth MN 28.66 inHg - Wind gusts to 80 mph - Temperature swing: mid-50s °F → single digits overnight (30°F+ drop) - Snow totals: up to 26.6 inches in Collegeville, MN - Snowdrifts: up to 20 feetOther damage: - ~1.5 million turkeys killed (Minnesota and Iowa) - Tens of thousands of cattle lost - Thanksgiving turkey shortage — birds sold for 25 cents eachEyewitness (Dale Engler, hunting Mississippi River, MN):"At two o'clock the rain turned into wind-driven sleet and snow, and within the next two hours I saw more waterfowl than I've seen in my life."===========================================LEGACY===========================================The disaster exposed the failure of centralized Midwest forecasting (one Chicago office for the entire region). In the aftermath:- Regional Weather Bureau offices were established, including La Crosse, WI for the Upper Mississippi valley- Winter storm warning procedures were formalized- The modern network of local NWS forecast offices traces its origins in part to this storm===========================================SOURCES===========================================- NOAA/NWS La Crosse: https://www.weather.gov/arx/nov111940- NOAA/NWS Chicago: https://www.weather.gov/lot/1940Nov11_armisticeday- Ducks Unlimited: https://www.ducks.org/hunting/duck-hunting-stories/the-great-armistice-day-storm-of-1940- MeatEater: https://www.themeateater.com/hunt/waterfowl/bar-room-banter-armistice-day-the-day-85-duck-hunters-died- EBSCO Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/earth-and-atmospheric-sciences/armistice-day-blizzard===========================================New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.Weather With Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily — morning forecasts at 7 AM every day on Spreaker, plus a historical weather deep-dive every Tuesday and Thursday at 7 AM CDT.

//The Wire//2300Z June 8, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WAR IN MIDDLE EAST REIGNITES AFTER IRAN AND ISRAEL CONTINUE MUTUAL TARGETING EFFORTS. MORE SCREWWORM CASES REPORTED IN AMERICAN SOUTHWEST. DRONE SHOOTDOWN REPORTED IN LATVIA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Last night the war resumed again with both Israel and Iran exchanging missiles throughout the evening. The conflict began after a flare up in Lebanon yesterday afternoon, which involved Israeli forces and Hezbollah launching missiles at each other shortly before midnight (local time). Due to this targeting effort, the Iranians launched several ballistic missiles toward Israel. All total, approximately 30x missiles were launched, with an unknown number being intercepted. Immediately after these missiles were launched, Israeli aircraft crossed into Jordan and launched long-range missiles targeting unknown locations within Iran.Red Sea/HOA: Following the recent escalation of the war, the Houthis have claimed to close the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait to American and Israeli vessels.Analyst Comment: Now, a second major maritime choke point is threatened. During this war so far, the Houthis have largely been sitting this one out, after their victory in holding out against the US bombing campaign last year. Now, the Houthis appear to be getting in the game, at least to some degree. They don't have nearly as much firepower as the Iranians do, however they can still make enough trouble to threaten the Red Sea.Europe: This morning NATO aircraft were scrambled to intercept a drone, which breached Latvia's airspace. One drone was shot down by a French Rafale fighter aircraft, and no injuries were reported as a result of the incident.Analyst Comment: The point of origin for the drone has not been provided, however based on geography alone, it would make sense for the drone to be Russian. Nevertheless, this shootdown comes at a time when the collateral damage concerns of the war spilling outside Ukraine's borders are beginning to be more serious. A stray drone or two is not out of the ordinary, but multiple explosive boats being found inside a Romanian port, similar drones hitting an apartment building also in Romania, and now a drone breaching Latvia's airspace...all within a few days...has caused increased concern regarding this year's fighting season in Europe.-HomeFront-Georgia: This afternoon an active shooter situation was reported on base at Fort Stewart. One suspect was apprehended after firing several rounds on Engineer Road on post. No further information has been provided regarding this incident, however the lockdown has been lifted and no casualties were reported. More information is expected as the investigation continues.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Over the weekend, several more confirmed cases of New World Screwworm (NWS) have been disclosed. One dog was discovered with the parasite in Lea County, New Mexico, and another case was discovered in a calf in Gillespie County, Texas, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to four nationwide. Aerial dispersal of sterile NWS flies have taken place over the weekend near the affected areas, with several flights being undertaken since June 4th. 24x ground release arrays are already deployed throughout the area along the border, and the recent emergency declarations by Texas have increased efforts to combat the spread of the parasite.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Futures reverse lower; cash steady; boxed beef lower; cash feeders higher; more NWS cases adding more uncertainty to markets.

Texas Calf With New World Screwworm USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) confirmed the detection of New World screwworm (NWS) in a 3-week-old calf in Zavala County, Texas, marking the first confirmed U.S. case. The larvae were found in the calf's umbilical area, and no additional cases have been detected to date. New World screwworm is a serious pest whose larvae feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals, posing risks to livestock, pets, wildlife, and, in rare cases, humans. In response, USDA and Texas animal health officials have activated their NWS Response Playbook and are taking immediate action to contain and eradicate the pest. Measures include establishing a 20-kilometer quarantine zone around the detection site, increasing surveillance and trapping efforts, deploying additional sterile screwworm flies, implementing wildlife monitoring programs, and forming a unified incident command team. USDA emphasized that the U.S. food supply remains safe, as screwworm does not infest meat products and any affected animals would be identified during federal meat inspection. Officials also urged livestock producers and pet owners in the region to monitor animals closely for signs of infestation and report any suspected cases immediately.

//The Wire//2300Z June 4, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CROSSBOW ATTACK REPORTED IN UNITED KINGDOM. NEW WORLD SCREWWORM CONFIRMED IN TEXAS. CONGRESS VOTES TO REAFFIRM WAR POWERS RESOLUTION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: This morning an attack was reported at the University of Surrey after a former student shot a security guard with a crossbow. The attacker has not yet been identified, however authorities have stated his is a Saudi national. The security guard who was shot remains in critical condition, and more details are expected at the situation develops.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Last night Congress voted to acknowledge the pre-existing War Powers Resolution, which would hold the Executive Branch to the standards of this resolution concerning the current war in the Persian Gulf.Analyst Comment: This vote has no real effect as it is merely a milquetoast effort to acknowledge a law that is already on the books, namely that the President can't declare war, only Congress can. The war certainly will not stop based on this vote, and President Trump also dismissed the vote in a post on his social media platform this morning.Texas: Yesterday, the USDA confirmed the presence of New World Screwworm (NWS) within the United States, marking the first confirmed case within the United States since the disease was eradicated from the continent in 1966. This first case was discovered in a newborn calf in Zavala County. A 20 km quarantine zone has been placed around the farm where the disease was discovered, and a unified incident command has been established to increase surveillance of the disease and increase targeted releases of sterile NWS flies, which is the primary means of combating the disease (used in the 1950's to eradicate it the first time).-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: For many months, agricultural communities have been sounding alarm bells regarding the spread of screwworm throughout Central America. Various agencies and entities have indeed engaged in extremely significant campaigns to slow the spread of the disease, but despite these genuine efforts, it was not enough and screwworm has crossed the border. It's hard to determine how severe this disease will impact livestock herds around the nation, however earlier this year, the USDA reported that the national cattle inventory currently sits at 86.2 million head, the lowest level since 1951. As a reminder, this is the raw figure that is not adjusted for the US population at the time. In 1951, the population of the United States was around 150 million. Today, the US population is (on paper) over double that figure, at 342 million. Based on the numbers alone, the US has returned to the beef levels of the 1950's, even though our population has doubled since then.This figure ebbs and flows throughout the year, and this is more of a strategic concern that has been building for some time, as opposed to an immediate and time-sensitive emergency. The reason for the decline in cattle stocks is mostly the result of high feed costs and drought conditions over the past few years, which have dwindled the national cattle supply. Over the past few months, the war in Iran has sharply driven up fertilizer prices, which has driven up prices for everything including the feed for cattle, as well as transportation and operating costs. So right now, a perfect storm is brewing. Cattle herds are already in a compromised state after years of drought and high feed costs, the Gulf War is making everything more expensive, and the cherry on top now arrives with New World Screwworm spreading throughout the national cattle supply at it's lowest point in 75 years. The next major indicator to watch out for will arrive at the end of July when the next cattle report comes out; total stockpiles of livestock nationwide are only compiled twice per year due to production cycles, so next month's report will be very telling in terms of how bad the situation truly is. Even based on January's data, it is a very softball assessment to surmise that beef prices are going to keep increasing for the foreseeable future, and when the supply shock from the global petroleum crisis finally trickles down more seriously to big industry, these costs will continue to escalate even more later on this year.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Rising toward the 70s by next week (oppressive/tropical). NWS notes precipitable water approaching 2 inches — 99th climatological percentile.BERMUDA HIGHThe Bermuda-Azores High is actively pumping warm, humid Gulf of Mexico air northward into the Mississippi Valley. The clockwise circulation around this semi-permanent high pressure system (center ~1020–1025 mb over the western Atlantic) is the primary driver of southerly flow into St. Louis.HOTTEST MIDWEST AREAS TODAYSouthern Plains states (Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska) are seeing the highest temperatures today. St. Louis (mid-80s today) is on the warmer side but the big heat builds Friday–Saturday with highs of 90–92°F and heat index values near 100°F.CORN BELT HUMIDITY (Corn Sweat)Early-season evapotranspiration from corn crops across Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and northeastern Missouri is contributing to regional humidity. Peak corn sweat occurs July–August at tasseling, but crop transpiration is already adding moisture to the regional atmosphere. Combined with Gulf moisture transport, this is driving dew points toward the 70s by next week.LOW-LEVEL JET STREAM (Nocturnal Acceleration)Surface winds will calm tonight as the boundary layer decouples after sunset, but the Low-Level Jet at 1,000–3,000 feet above the ground will accelerate — potentially reaching 30–60 mph overnight while the surface remains calm. The LLJ is pumping Gulf moisture northward and fueling the MCS (mesoscale convective system) tracking northeast from Kansas/Nebraska overnight toward St. Louis.OZARK PLATEAU DOWNSLOPE WINDSWinds descending off the Ozark Plateau (1,000–2,000 ft elevation across southern Missouri and northern Arkansas) undergo adiabatic warming as they sink toward the Mississippi River valley — adding warmth to the St. Louis area. The Missouri and Mississippi River valleys, the Missouri Bootheel, and southwestern Illinois are most impacted by this effect.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━KIDS ACTIVITIES — St. Louis Metro, June 4━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Check the episode for today's family-friendly activities in the St. Louis metro area including the Saint Louis Zoo, City Museum, Missouri Botanical Garden, and more.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━COMMUNITY━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Shoutout to Epstein Hebrew Academy and the Orthodox Jewish communities of University City and Chesterfield.

And on June 4, 1877, an F4 tornado tore through Mt.

High pressure from the Great Lakes keeps the region completely dry with mostly sunny skies. Highs in the low to mid 80s inland; the Jersey Shore runs cooler in the low 70s thanks to cold ocean waters. Sea breezes develop in the afternoon. Tonight: mostly clear and mild, lows in the 50s. The pleasant, warm stretch continues through Saturday before a trough brings cooler weather and rain chances this weekend.NWS MOUNT HOLLY DISCUSSION SUMMARYIssued: 6:59 AM EDT, Wednesday June 3, 2026 | Forecasters: Guzzo/MPSKey Message 1: High pressure over the Great Lakes builds east, keeping the region dry through the end of the week. A surface low develops off the Mid-Atlantic coast tonight but is kept well offshore by high pressure. Temperatures warm to near or into the low 90s Friday-Saturday, with shore areas in the 80s.Key Message 2: A positively-tilted upper-level trough digs in from the northwest late Sunday into early next week. GFS shows a cutoff low lingering offshore; ECMWF and CMC show a more progressive pattern. Regardless, a cooling trend, scattered showers, and possible thunderstorms arrive Sunday, with an isolated stronger/severe storm possible. A few showers linger into Monday. Temperatures return to the 70s next week.Rip Currents: LOW risk for Monmouth, Ocean, and Atlantic county beaches; MODERATE risk for Cape May county and Delaware beaches.WEATHER HISTORY — June 3rdOn June 3, 1933, a powerful F2 tornado (roughly equivalent to an EF2, with winds estimated 113–157 mph) cut a 15-mile path across South Dakota, beginning about 6 miles southwest of Wilmot.

From the SiriusXM Studio at Wynn: Retail's Next Big MoveBroadcast live from the SiriusXM Studios at the Wynn Las Vegas and kicking off ICSC Las Vegas, Retail Retold stepped onto one of the biggest stages in the industry for a special conversation between Chris Ressa and DLC Founder and CEO Adam Ifshin. As Adam put it during the recording: “What is more fitting for Retail Retold to be the pregame show for the Super Bowl of retail real estate?”The episode captures the energy, optimism, and momentum surrounding retail real estate as thousands of industry leaders gather in Las Vegas for the year's most important dealmaking event.Chris and Adam dive into DLC's newly released thought leadership campaign, The Rent Is Next, and unpack why retail fundamentals may be stronger today than at any point in the last 35 years. Adam explains why years of underbuilding, limited available space, and stronger retailer performance are creating mounting pressure on rents across the country. He also shares why he believes retail cap rates still have room to compress as more institutional and foreign capital rotates back into the sector.The conversation moves beyond market fundamentals into the future of the business itself, from the evolving role of operators to the growing importance of redevelopment, densification, and platform-driven value creation. Adam also gives his perspective on artificial intelligence, why AI will accelerate productivity rather than eliminate opportunity, and how the best operators will use technology to scale smarter and faster.The episode closes with a rapid-fire discussion on mixed-use development, capital markets, the next generation entering the industry, and DLC's long-term vision to become one of the largest owner-operators of open-air retail in America.What You'll HearWhy Adam Ifshin calls ICSC Las Vegas the “Super Bowl of retail real estate” and why Retail Retold belonged in the SiriusXM Studios at WynnThe story behind DLC's newest thought leadership campaign: The Rent Is NextWhy retail rents may finally be entering a major growth cycle after decades of stagnationHow limited new development is reshaping the future of open-air retailAdam's outlook on cap rates, institutional capital, and why investors are rotating back into retailWhy the “age of the operator” is real — and what separates great operators from everyone elseHow DLC evolved beyond ownership into construction, architecture, and platform-driven servicesAdam's take on AI, productivity, and why leadership matters more than technology itselfRapid-fire predictions on mixed-use, foreign capital, retail jobs, AI, and the future of CREDLC's vision to become one of the largest owner-operators of open-air retail in AmericaChapters00:00 – Live from the SiriusXM Studios at Wynn Las VegasChris and Adam set the stage from ICSC Las Vegas and discuss why this feels like the “pregame show for the Super Bowl of retail real estate.”01:35 – Adam Ifshin's origin storyFrom starting a business in his college dorm room to launching DLC during the savings and loan crisis.07:45 – “The Rent Is Next”Why retail fundamentals are stronger than they've been in decades — and why rents are finally moving.12:45 – Cap rates, capital flows and investor sentimentWhy retail real estate is no longer sitting in the industry's “penalty box.”16:15 – The next risk facing retail real estateAdam breaks down inflation, geopolitical uncertainty and the long-term risk of overbuilding.19:10 – What separates great operators todayWhy the best teams are adapting differently in today's retail environment.22:50 – AI and the future of commercial real estateAdam shares why AI is a productivity accelerator — not a replacement for people.28:15 – Real or hype?
