Mexico and the U.S. have come to a resolution after the U.S. Department of Agriculture threatened to close the Southwest border to cattle imports.
The two countries reached an agreement following a strongly worded letter from USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, in which she threatened to close the border to the livestock.
The border was closed to cattle for a few months starting late last year after the discovery of a flesh-eating parasite called the New World Screwworm in a cow in southern Mexico.
During the closure, the U.S. and Mexico worked together to put in place new protocols and veterinary checks for cattle crossing the border. The U.S. eradicated the deadly parasite in the 1960s.
