As part of USDA’s phased reopening of 3 southern cattle ports for livestock trade, USDA will reopen the Douglas, AZ, port, which borders Sonora on Aug. 24, 2026. Every animal entering the U.S. through these ports will undergo a full USDA inspection to ensure it is free of any signs of New World screwworm. After evaluating the success of the initial reopening and potential impacts or risk assessment changes, @USDA_APHIS will then consider reopening the Santa Teresa, NM, and Columbus, NM, ports to live cattle, bison, and horses.
