| Impact Report | The Luna County Agriculture Agent held a meeting with 14 producers, 3 vets, and the NMLB, to discuss the management techniques to be used in managing trich in two regions within Luna County. The meeting was designed to help ranchers deal with cattle crossing on to different ranches and causing the disease to spread. Some of the area ranches were very upset with each other during the meeting, but after discussions they had calmed down and were actually to each other. Very positive impact came out of this meeting. as a working group we have continued to work together to management this disease in Luna County. The agent continues to work with the US/Mexico cattle crossing yard in Columbus to insure that communication is open between the county, state, and federal agencies to help the county owned stockyard. Cattle crossing has slowed because of the cases of TB in Mexico. The agent visits with NMLB weekly to monitor the status of the problem. Huge impact on Luna County not being able to have our border crossing open. |
