Texas Herds Lifted From Hog Cholera Quarantine
Texas and Oklahoma hog herds faced depopulation and indemnity funds after a six week quarantine in Deaf Smith and Castro counties. Forty five herds infected prompted culling near Hereford and in other states as relief measures begin. Screwworm control shifts to airborne releases amid rising cases. Cotton sorghum and peanut harvest progress noted with prices improving in Texas. A Texas Animal Health Commission hearing set for September 4 in Austin addresses regulatory changes.
High-Temperature Chilling Improves Forage-Finished Beef Tenderness
Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researchers find that chilling beef carcasses at 63 degrees Fahrenheit for 16 hours reduces tenderness gaps between forage-finished and grain-finished beef. The study suggests fat deposition differences drive tenderness and that faster, high-temperature chilling slows fatty exterior deposition.
