Folks with horses really need to just stay home with their horses for a few weeks right now. Equine Herpes Virus generally has an incubation period of 2 to 14 days. If people will just stay home for at least 2 weeks, preferably 3, this whole outbreak will fizzle out. Remember that some horses that get the infections, never show symptoms but will shed the virus effectively for a couple of weeks. Some horses get the infection will show mild symptoms and get better, and still others will get the infection and develop a fatal case.

I'm disappointed that Clovis is still having their horse sale this weekend. I am strongly advising our clients to stay away from the event. If you don't heed this advice, at the very least, quarantine any horses that come home with your from this or any other event for at least 3 weeks.

Texas Cattle Feeders Association's statement on U.S. Agriculture Secretary Rollins' Announcement to Enhance Domestic Readiness and Response to New World Screwworm:

“We commend Secretary Rollins for prioritizing efforts to combat New World Screwworm by establishing sterile fly dispersal and production facilities in South Texas which will significantly enhance our capabilities to contain the screwworm in Southern Mexico,” stated TCFA chairman-elect Laphe LaRoe. “These additional resources, combined with robust implementation of surveillance, sampling, reporting and enhanced treatment protocols provide a strong foundation for the U.S. to continue fighting the screwworm fly where it is today and ensure continued confidence in cattle and beef trade between the U.S. and Mexico.”
