I guess we ain't going to see $3 hamburger anytime soon. Cheapest out here is about $6. I usually mix some of my venison burger with cheap beef burger. That's going to be a bit painful this year.

Not sure I’ve ever been more thankful that we eat almost 100% venison at this point when it comes to red meat. Hate to see where this ends up when it comes to beef prices.

Your in Michigan so I would say your deer are fairly safe from screwworm
In 1972 Texas had a 80% loss in deer during a fly resurgence.
20% livestock mortality.,

To be fair. Up there they have EHD and blue tounge which can be severe for deer. They exist in Texas but dont seem to be bad here.

The 20% is Terrifying.

14% of our 86.5 million cattle reside in Texas.

20% death loss on 12.1 million is 2.4 million cattle.

More news.
Worth noting. This means deer hides and carcases as well.

Hides, carcasses, and parts of any animal capable of serving as a host for NWS must be inspected and undergo any treatment deemed necessary by a Commission representative prior to removal from the Infested Zones.

USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratories has confirmed an additional NWS case in a calf in La Salle County, Texas, bringing the total number of confirmed U.S. cases to six. USDA and TAHC continue to coordinate response and investigation efforts.

TAHC has also confirmed an NWS detection in Edwards County, Texas. As part of the state's response efforts, TAHC has issued an Executive Director Order establishing animal movement restrictions for Edwards, Sutton, and Val Verde Counties to help prevent the spread of NWS.

EWA encourages members to remain vigilant and closely monitor animals for suspicious wounds, maggots, larvae, eggs, foul odors, unusual drainage, or other signs of infestation. Early detection and reporting remain critical to limiting the spread of NWS.

TAHC's interactive NWS Zone Map provides current infested

zones, quarantined areas, and response information:

There’s a new county every time I check that tracker. I can’t believe they haven’t found any in traps or wild animals yet, are all these cattle that are popping up from the same area and getting moved around?

My wife’s house is only 14 miles south of one zone and now it’s in Sonora Texas (150miles away) seems to be traveling up hwy 83 & 277 , really hope the big ranchers in south Texas aren’t shipping cattle to their north Texas places.
Hwy 83 is the road connecting all the zones together, it’s a major shipping route for cattle to summer pasture and panhandling feed lots

I could probably hit the Google machine and figure it out but how have they gotten rid of them before?

Females only breed once and die , the males are exposed to radiation in a laboratory and sterile, so the government boxes up 1000 sterile males and dump them into a problem zone
