Ostrich breeder David Head of Clovis says breeders will exploit anxiety over mad cow disease. Mark Rosenfeld near Salt Lake City calls it the biggest boost this industry could have. European beef sales slump amid mad cow fears, while U.S. demand remains steady. France reports ninth herd case this year as Europe weighs import bans and production cuts. New Mexico hosts about 70 ostrich ranches in five years, with widespread ranching across the state.

The city of Santa Fe opposes Ravens Ridge expansion due to higher water needs for snowmaking and urges a shuttle to reduce traffic.
