PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by Tom Paterson NMCGA President

Dear Cattle Growers,

A

s we reach the midpoint of 2026, it is a good time to step back and ask a simple question: Are we making progress on the issues that matter most to New Mexico ranchers? The answer is yes—but there is still plenty of work ahead.

Your New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association has remained focused on the fundamentals: protecting ranching, protecting private property rights, preserving access to grazing, and ensuring that rural New Mexico continues to have a voice in Santa Fe and Washington. During the legislative session, we helped secure more than $22 million in appropriations benefiting agriculture and rural communities. Those investments include agricultural water conservation, trichomoniasis eradication, veterinary student loan repayment, meat processor modernization, livestock incident response communications, and compensation for Mexican wolf impacts. We also successfully opposed legislation that would have imposed additional burdens on rural New Mexicans and agricultural producers. On federal lands issues, we continued working to protect grazing permittees and improve the regulatory environment in which they operate. Important developments included the rescission of the BLM Conservation Rule, the delisting of the Lesser Prairie Chicken, and successful efforts to stop a proposed 10-mile-wide energy corridor that would have crossed New Mexico. We also remain actively engaged on BLM and Forest Service grazing regulations, permit reauthorization, and Valles Caldera grazing and fencing issues. Wolf management continues to demand attention. While much work remains, meaningful progress has been made toward a more balanced approach—one that recognizes both conservation goals and the realities faced by our rural community members and livestock producers. Efforts to improve compensation programs, strengthen removal authorities, improve access to data, and reform depredation standards continue to move forward. We have also focused on the future of our Association and our industry. This spring, more than 15,000 New Mexico livestock brand owners were invited to participate in surveys designed to help shape our strategic direction for membership development and growth. Combined with regional meetings and listening sessions across the state, those conversations are helping us identify where we are succeeding, where we can improve, and how we can better serve both members and the broader ranching community. We have also worked to keep producers informed on emerging challenges, including PFAS regulations, surface water quality proposals, and the threat posed by New World Screwworm. These issues may not always generate headlines, but they have the potential to affect every livestock producer in New Mexico. None of this work happens because of one individual. It happens because ranchers choose to work together. When we speak with a unified voice, we are more effective in protecting our livelihoods, our communities, and the next generation of cattle producers. If you are already a member, thank you for your support and engagement. If you are not yet a member, I invite you to join us. The challenges facing our industry are too important for any of us to face alone. Together, we are building a stronger future for New Mexico ranching. Adalante juntos, Ganaderos.

Tom Paterson, President New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association

Assembly, Disassembly and Cleaning Instructions for the 5L bottle with applicator device: Step 1 Follow the applicator device manufacturer’s assembly directions. Connect one end of the delivery tubing to the connection point on the dosing applicator. Step 2 Remove the transit cap and protection seal from the 5L bottle and replace with spigot cap attached to dip tube. Tighten spigot cap to bottle and attach other end of delivery tubing to the spigot cap. Do not discard the transit cap until the contents of the 5L bottle are completely used. Please refer to Figure 2 for the assembled 5L bottle with applicator device. Step 3 Keeping the 5L bottle in an upright position, gently prime the applicator device per the included manufacturer’s instructions, checking for leaks. With the applicator device in an upward position, expel all visible air from the barrel and confirm that product is visibly expressed from the tip of the applicator device so that it is free of any residual air. Step 4 Follow the applicator device manufacturer’s directions for adjusting the dose. Step 5 When the interval between uses of the applicator device is expected to exceed 1 week, take off the entire spigot assembly (delivery tubing connected to the spigot cap with attached dip tube while still connected to the applicator device), from the 5L bottle. Return any unused product remaining in the applicator device and in the delivery tubing back into the 5L bottle. Raise the spigot cap with dip tube attached and place the tip of the applicator device into the 5L bottle. Discharge the remaining product from the spigot assembly into the bottle. Place the transit cap onto the 5L bottle to close it. Submerge the dip tube in warm, soapy water. Flush warm soapy water through the delivery tubing and through the applicator device, followed by flushing them with clean water and allowing them to dry. Once dry, store the entire dosing assembly (applicator device, delivery tubing, spigot cap with attached dip tube) in a safe, clean place until next use.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action: Fluralaner belongs to the class of isoxazoline-substituted benzamide derivatives. Fluralaner is an inhibitor of the arthropod nervous system. The mode of action of fluralaner is the antagonism of the ligand-gated chloride channels (gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-receptor and glutamate-receptor). Pharmacokinetics: The pharmacokinetic properties of a single 2.5 mg/kg dose of Exzolt CattleCA1 administered topically along the dorsal midline from the withers to the base of the tail to cattle that were not restricted from grooming are presented in Table 1 (n = 12).

TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Margin of Safety: In a margin of safety study, Exzolt Cattle-CA1 was well tolerated in 32 six to seven month old healthy beef cattle (16 males and 16 females). Study animals were administered 3.7, 11.1, or 18.5 mg/kg body weight (1X, 3X, and 5X the maximum anticipated labeled dose) of Exzolt Cattle-CA1 by topical application three times 42 days apart (Days 0, 42, and 84). Cattle in the control group (0X) were treated with green dyed sterile saline at a dose volume similar to the 5X treated group. General health observations were conducted twice daily from acclimation to the end of the 98-day study. Variables measured periodically throughout the study for each animal were body weight; physical examinations; neurological examinations; analysis of blood for hematology, clinical chemistry, coagulation, and toxicokinetics; fecal and urine analysis; and feed and water consumption. All animals were necropsied at the end of the study for gross and histopathological examination and select organs were weighed. Test article-related application site reactions, including skin flaking/scurfing and scabbing were observed. These findings were dose-dependent in both incidence and severity. Reactions in the 1X animals appeared after the second administration. These reactions in the 1X group were cosmetic in nature and did not require treatment. Female Reproductive Safety: In a reproductive safety study, Exzolt Cattle-CA1 was well tolerated in 200 healthy beef cows between the ages of 3 to 11 years old. Study animals were administered 11.1 mg fluralaner/kg body weight (3X the maximum labeled dose) of Exzolt Cattle-CA1 by a single topical application once during breeding (estrus; before timed-artificial insemination), early in the 1st trimester of pregnancy, during the mid-1st trimester of pregnancy, or in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Cattle in the control group (0X) were treated with green dyed sterile saline at a dose volume similar to the treated groups (3X). General health observations were conducted twice daily from acclimation to the end of the study at 30±2 days postpartum. Variables measured at start of acclimation and at the end of the study for each animal were body weight (including prior to each dosing) and physical examinations (including at parturition for offspring). Reproductive safety parameters included conception rate, abortion rate, calving rate, live births, stillborn calves, perinatal death, premature deliveries, neonatal death, dystocia, ability of calf to stand, walk and suckle, and abnormalities. Three stillbirths and one premature delivery were observed in animals in the control group. One stillbirth associated with dystocia and one premature delivery were documented in cows treated with Exzolt Cattle-CA1. Six abortions occurred across three of the Exzolt Cattle-CA1 treated groups (2 out of 31 cows in the estrus-treated group; 2 out of 34 cows in the early first trimester-treated group; 2 out of 27 cows in the mid first trimester-treated group). One calf was found dead within 24 hours of birth in an Exzolt Cattle-CA1 treated cow. These events were considered to occur at rates typical for the source herd and unlikely to be test article related. Not for use in bulls intended for breeding over 1 year of age, as reproductive safety has not been evaluated. Reasonable Expectation of Effectiveness: A reasonable expectation of effectiveness may be demonstrated based on evidence such as, but not limited to, pilot data in the target species or studies from published literature. Exzolt Cattle-CA1 is conditionally approved pending a full demonstration of effectiveness. Additional information for Conditional Approvals can be found at www.fda.gov/animalca. A reasonable expectation of effectiveness for Exzolt Cattle-CA1 for the prevention and treatment of infestations caused by New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) larvae (myiasis) and treatment and control of cattle fever tick (Rhipicephalus microplus) in beef cattle 2 months of age and older and replacement dairy heifers less than 20 months of age is based on results from the following foreign studies conducted in Australia, Brazil, and South Africa. A. New World Screwworm (NWS) (Cochliomyia hominivorax) Three effectiveness studies utilizing natural NWS infestations conducted in Brazil in 2018 are described below: 1. Support for a prevention indication: This study evaluated prevention of New World Screwworm (NWS) myiasis in a surgical wound created seven days after treatment administration. Animals received either a placebo (n=6) or Exzolt Cattle-CA1 (n=6) on Day -7. Seven days later, two surgical incisions were made on each side of the body at the shoulder. Animals were housed outside to facilitate natural infestation of the wounds with NWS. Cattle were monitored twice daily for 10 days post-incision to assess the presence of eggs and larvae. A single topical application of Exzolt Cattle-CA1 at the dose of 2.5 mg/kg provided 100% prevention against myiasis for the length of the study. 2. Support for a prevention indication: This study evaluated prevention of NWS myiasis in a castration wound created on the day of treatment with either a placebo (n=15) or Exzolt Cattle-CA1 (n=15). Animals were housed outside to facilitate natural infestation of the wounds with NWS. Cattle were monitored daily for 14 days post-surgery to assess the presence of eggs, larvae, and the progress of wound healing. A single topical administration of Exzolt Cattle-CA1 at the dose of 2.5 mg/kg provided 100% prevention against myiasis for up to 14 days following castration. 3. Support for a therapeutic indication: This study evaluated the effectiveness of the product to treat a wound already infested with NWS. A surgical wound was created and left exposed to facilitate natural infestation with NWS. Three days later, after confirming the presence of live larvae, animals were treated topically once with either a placebo (n=12) or Exzolt Cattle-CA1 (n=12). A single topical administration of Exzolt Cattle-CA1 at the dose of 2.5 mg/kg achieved 90.9% effectiveness by the second day post-treatment and reached 100% effectiveness by the third day. No myiasis in treated animals was observed up to day 5. B. Cattle Fever Tick (Rhipicephalus microplus) Three dose confirmation studies conducted in Brazil and South Africa and a rain exposure study conducted in Brazil utilizing induced infestations of R. microplus were evaluated. These studies were conducted between 2018 and 2021. In each study, animals were individually housed and randomly assigned to control and Exzolt Cattle-CA1-treated groups. Exzolt Cattle-CA1-treated groups received a single administration at the dose of 2.5 mg/kg. A total of thirty animals were treated with Exzolt Cattle-CA1 across these four studies. The product demonstrated 100% effectiveness within the first week after Exzolt Cattle-CA1 administration. Length of consistent 100% persistent effectiveness ranged from 39 days to approximately 110 days post-treatment. Thirteen field effectiveness studies conducted in Brazil and Australia utilizing natural infestations of R. microplus were evaluated. These studies were conducted between 2017 and 2023. In each study, animals were grouped housed and randomly assigned to control and Exzolt Cattle-CA1-treated groups. Exzolt Cattle-CA1-treated groups received a single administration at the dose of 2.5 mg/kg. Approximately 220 animals were treated with Exzolt Cattle-CA1 across these thirteen studies. The product demonstrated 100% effectiveness within the first week after Exzolt Cattle-CA1 administration. Length of consistent 100% persistent effectiveness ranged from 28 days to 70 days post-treatment. C. Rain exposure study One study was conducted to evaluate the impact of simulated rainfall post-treatment on the effectiveness of Exzolt Cattle-CA1 with cattle artificially infested with R. microplus. A total of 30 cattle (cross-bred beef bulls) were randomized to one of five groups with six animals each: Groups A, B, C, and D were treated with Exzolt Cattle-CA1 (2.5 mg/kg) and Group E with saline (equivalent volume). Groups A, B, and C were exposed to simulated rainfall at the following post-treatment timepoints: 6 hr, 12 hr, and 24 hr, respectively. Groups D and E had no exposure to rain. Percent effectiveness of Exzolt Cattle-CA1 was 100% in Groups A, B, C, and D up to 77 days. Rain exposure as early as 6 hr post-treatment did not affect the therapeutic or persistent effectiveness of Exzolt Cattle-CA1 in beef cattle. HOW SUPPLIED: Exzolt Cattle-CA1 is available in 250 mL, 1L, and 5L bottles. STORAGE AND HANDLING: Store at or below 30°C (86°F), with excursions to 40°C (104°F).

“Doing to Learn” Is More Than Just a Motto by Jewels Pradt, www.ffa.org/ffa-in-the-usa

T

he National FFA Organization motto, “Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve,” comes to life through the hands-on experiences members encounter every day. This year, the Grants FFA Chapter in New Mexico fully embodied “Doing to Learn” by participating in multiple Agriculture in the Classroom presentations throughout the community. Grants FFA traveled to different schools within the area, teaching younger students why agriculture is so important in the present day. This year’s focus was on chile production and the basics of the plant life cycle, helping students better understand where their food comes from and the role agriculture plays in everyday life. Providing students with hands-on experiences through an educational game and bracelet making made learning interactive and memorable. Throughout the year, the chapter completed multiple presentations, continuing a tradition it has participated in before. Its impact has become so meaningful that teachers requested them again for their

classes this year. These invitations reflect the ture, members are not only strengthening positive influence that Grants FFA members their knowledge, but also discovering the have had on the students and educators. value of leadership.

Traditional public land users, such as ranchers, argue that FLMPA, as written, ensures that productive use of federal land can continue to support food and fiber production and not lock the land up under the name of conservation. Another major contention was the introduction of “restoration and mitigation leases” (conservation leases), which allows third parties, like an environmental non-governmental organization or a private entity, to lease a tract of federal land to restore a watershed or protect a species habitat. FLMPA allows BLM to “use, occupy, and develop” public lands. It was argued that the conservation lease would give private entities the ability to obtain operational control over federal lands, excluding productive multiple uses such as grazing, timber, or energy development. It would be locking up landscapes into single-purpose management without congressional authorization. The recission was necessary to bring BLM back within the bounds of FLMPA expressed authorizations for permits, leases, and right-of-way. The 2024 Public Lands Rule inadequately considered the economic impacts of industries and rural communities dependent on federal lands, which runs counter to FLMPA’s direction to balance present and future needs for renewable and non-renewable resources. To me, the most important aspect of rescinding the Public Lands Rule was its overreach, expanding BLM’s authority through rulemaking rather than Congressional direction and approval. I looked up the Latin phrase “ultra vires,” which means beyond the power or action taken that exceeds the legal scope of the authority or violates their governing rules. I think this accurately describes the content of the now rescinded 2024 Public Lands Rule and its attempt at change. Until next time, keep your eye on the horizon as something new is happening all the time.

tell a British friend of mine about the incident. My friend always told me that he had a relative who came to America as a remittance man. My friend is really down to earth and not at all insufferable and when I told him the above quote he said, “That’s the difference between growing up under the thumb of a Monarchy and being bred and born in America. My relatives worked hard without any money from home and like most Americans we sweat and suffered and eventually prospered but we weren’t haughty and we didn’t look down our noses at the unwashed masses. In fact my father used to tell me that during the dirty thirties if a kid needed shoes and a horse also needed shoes the horse got them every time.”

t roughly 12:01 A.m. on July 5th 2026, we will be starting on the second 250 years of this nation. Having said that, we will have a huge job ahead of us to keep this nation together and to forge straight ahead on the path that our founding fathers envisioned. I want you to take an hour out of your busy schedule to reread the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. This is to not only remember where we came from, but it gives us a guided path to where we are going. Both documents are not simple or boring, and they contain some of the best news about your life. Read these documents aloud and discuss them with your family members and friends until they are fully understood. Make it a point to read more about some of the founding fathers that you may not be quite so familiar with. There is a wonderful book by William J.

From these four cows through embryo transfer they built their herd. These daughters and granddaughters are what we purchased to be the foundation of our registered Angus herd.

Applications for Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program Now Open

N

ew Mexico veterinarians who commit to serving rural, frontier and tribal communities may now apply for up to $80,000 in student loan repayment assistance through the state’s Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program. Administered by the New Mexico Higher Education Department, the program targets a persistent shortage in food animal veterinary care across the state’s rural and agricultural communities. Recipients must commit to providing care for food-producing livestock, including cattle, sheep, goats and poultry, in New Mexico’s rural communities for a minimum of four years. The application deadline is July 1. Since the program’s launch, eight veterinarians have received awards through the program, helping strengthen access to veterinary services in areas that have historically faced provider shortages and helping safeguard New Mexico’s agricultural economy. “Veterinarians are essential to the agricultural sector of communities throughout New Mexico,” said Higher Education Secretary Stephanie M. Rodriguez. “By supporting these professionals, we are helping strengthen critical services that families, producers and communities rely on every day.” The program is part of a broader statewide effort to strengthen New Mexico’s workforce in high-demand fields while improving access to critical veterinary services for communities, producers and animal owners. Interested applicants must apply through the New Mexico Higher Education Department website by August 1, 2026, to be considered for the program. Learn more at hed.nm.gov or call the Financial Aid Helpline at 1-800-279-9777.

Interior Restores Clear ESA Enforcement by Rescinding Misguided “Harm” Definition

T

he Department of the Interior and the Department of Commerce has announced they have finalized a rule rescinding the outdated regulatory definition of “harm” under the Endangered Species Act. The action returns the interpretation of the ESA back to its actual text and original intent, which will end years of federal overreach. Through this action, the Department is delivering the kind of common sense and

accountability the American people voted for. This reform is based on the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Loper Bright v. Raimondo, which requires agencies to follow the single best meaning of a statute rather than contorting laws to fit political agendas. Using the legally justifiable standard, the Services determined that the prior definition of “harm” was an unlawful regulatory intrusion that interfered with private property rights. “For years, federal agencies abused the ESA to obstruct lawful land use and burden American families and businesses,” said Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. “That approach turned routine activity into a regulatory trap, drove up costs that impacted people’s lives, and expanded federal authority beyond what Congress intended. This action restores common sense, respects private property, provides much-needed certainty for landowners and follows the statute Congress actually passed.” “President Trump is rescinding overly broad and burdensome regulations that have restrained our fishermen for too long,” said Department of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. “We’re returning the ESA to its foundational purpose to ensure legitimate conservation goals are met without sacrificing economic growth and American

prosperity.” The ESA’s core protections remain firmly in place. Actions that directly injure or kill listed wildlife will continue to be prohibited. Existing permits and incidental take statements remain valid and unchanged. What ends today is a system that repeatedly punished people for indirect or speculative impacts never contemplated by Congress. “This Administration is committed to protecting wildlife using Gold Standard Science, the law and the tools Congress actually gave us,” said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Brian Nesvik. “We can protect species and respect communities at the same time.” The final rule will reduce unnecessary permitting, cut compliance costs, and eliminate confusion for landowners, small businesses, energy producers, farmers, ranchers and local governments. It brings long overdue financial and regulatory relief to citizens who faced unpredictable delays and unnecessary costs due solely by interpretations that went far beyond the statute.

USDA Launches New Remote Beef Grader App by Peter Voskamp, meatingplace.com

T

he U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has introduced a new mobile app to render access to the Remote Grading Program for Beef (RGP) — a process to determine the official quality grading and certification of carcass beef — more convenient from a remote location. The USDA officially grades the vast majority of fed beef brought to market. However, this has historically entailed processors traveling to a larger packing facilities where USDA graders were retained. The newly launched RGP app “can dramatically reduce the overall cost of service for independent beef packers, in particular those who may only need five or even 50 carcasses graded at a time,” the AMS says. The RGP utilizes mobile app imaging to assess carcass characteristics and assign official grades that buyers and consumers rely on to signal quality. AMS says the new app will provide customers with “more secure image submissions, fewer upload mistakes, clearer status visibility, and reliable tracking of assigned carcass grades.” According to the American Association of Meat Packers (AAMP), to date the RGP has registered 88 facilities in 32 states. Grades are usually received within 24 hours. Further, AAMP says farmers and ranchers would also benefit from having official USDA quality grades in order to provide that information to direct-to-consumer markets, “or simply to use carcass data to continue improving genetics, growth, and quality.” “While more than 90 percent of fed beef is officially graded by USDA – predominantly at larger plants – the Remote Grading Program for Beef (RGP) extends those market benefits, especially to small processors, by providing low-cost grading services that afford them access to new markets using USDA grades like Prime, Choice, and Select,” said Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Dudley Hoskins.

State Reimburses Ag Businesses Up to $15,000 to Hire Interns

N

ew Mexico agricultural businesses can now apply for funding to hire paid interns through the state’s Agricultural Workforce Development Program, which reimburses up to 50 percent of internship costs to help develop the next generation of farmers, ranchers and agricultural professionals. Eligible businesses may be reimbursed up to 50 percent of actual internship costs, with a cap of $15,000 per intern. Each internship must total at least 130 hours, and businesses may apply to hire up to three interns per year. Interns must be at least 18 years old. While New Mexico residency is preferred, it is not required.

The AWD Program offers hands-on training opportunities for beginning agricultural workers while helping ag businesses grow their workforce. The program launched in 2020 following legislation passed in 2019. “This program not only helps train the next generation, but also supports producers and processors by easing the cost of expanding their operations,” said New Mexico Agriculture Secretary Jeff Witte. The application window will remain open until March 31, 2027, or until funds are fully allocated. Funds are available for internships beginning after July 1, 2026, and must be used by May 31, 2027. Participating businesses are responsible for recruiting their own interns. For more details, visit NMDeptAg.nmsu.edu, email awd@nmda.nmsu.edu or call 575-646-2642.

Asks Federal Judge to Remove Lizard From Endangered List by PBOG

listing by the Biden administration in May 2024 “would unduly undermine vital economic development in the Permian Basin, subjecting Texas industries and private landowners to regulatory uncertainty and ambiguity….” Federal officials said the 2024 listing did not properly account for conservation and habitat restoration efforts ongoing for more than a decade in west Texas and eastern New Mexico. According to Reuters June 3, U.S. Department of Justice said the error “led to an incomplete and potentially inaccurate assessment of the potential and ongoing conservation efforts in New Mexico and Texas.” The settlement is pending approval by the federal judge.

250 Years of Feeding Freedom by New Association of Conservation Districts

A

s America celebrates 250 years of independence, we should also celebrate the men and women who have made that freedom possible every single day: our farmers and ranchers. Long before modern highways, technology, and global markets, it was hardworking agricultural families who transformed a new nation into one capable of feeding itself and much of the world.

They endured droughts, floods, wars, economic hardships, and changing markets, yet they never stopped producing the food, fiber, and fuel that sustain our country. Here in New Mexico, agriculture is woven into our history. From acequia communities and family ranches to today’s cattle producers, dairies, pecan orchards, chile growers, and hay producers, our way of life reflects the same values that built America—faith, hard work, stewardship, self-reliance, and perseverance. As we commemorate America’s 250th birthday, we should remember that freedom depends on more than our military, our Constitution, and our elections. It also depends on a secure food supply produced by people who rise before dawn, care for the land, and leave it better for the next

generation. The challenges facing agriculture today are significant: water shortages, burdensome regulations, labor concerns, and volatile markets. Yet the resilience of rural America remains as strong as ever. Our responsibility is to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to farm and ranch just as those before us did. Protecting private property rights, encouraging local decision-making, investing in conservation, and supporting rural communities will help preserve this legacy. For 250 years, America’s farmers and ranchers have fed freedom. May we continue to honor their work and ensure that this proud tradition endures for centuries to come.

Fourth of July

J

uly 4th. Once the biggest, most celebrated holiday in our country. It surpassed even Christmas. The loss of patriotism I see makes me sad, and sometimes angry. I still have tears form when old Glory is presented and our National Anthem is sung. I see the lack of caring, of patriotism, in so many younger folks and children. I have to ask myself if we have somehow failed to impress on them the cost of the freedom we all enjoy; so many kids don’t even know who George Washington was. Our great document, The Declaration of Independence, seems to have been forgotten. Not all kids are included, and it seems many are city kids. I think this is part of the great divide our country is experiencing, city vs. country people. Rural, farming, and ranching people know all about history and roots in general, including our own country. The modern world is so far removed from this country’s history and what is has gone through to remain the best country in the world.

We have a fight on our hands to keep these freedoms. We must find a way to reach and teach these values to those who are either unaware or just don’t care. I’m sure I am not alone when I say we have generations of family who fought for our country, from the Revolutionary War to what’s going on right now. I would bet very few folks under 50 years of age know what a Gold Star mother is. Ask an eighth grader about WWII. Unless they saw the movie, Reagan, they probably can’t tell you much, if anything about it. I know I am not alone in my concern for our country and the threats of socialism and communism that are allowed here now. Before we start our barbeques and parties this Fourth of July, I would ask this. Please have a flag present and have everyone join in saluting it. Ask everyone to join in singing our National Anthem. A prayer asking for help for our country wouldn’t hurt, either. Then enjoy the food and fireworks celebrating the United States of America! Hopefully when those fireworks light up the skies we will all think of those” bombs bursting in air” to protect our freedoms. I didn’t write a beef recipe this month. I figure most of you will be enjoying some of our 100 percent American-grown brisket, burgers or steaks. I know we will be! I am giving you a recipe to enjoy with it. It is simple, delicious and easy. A great accompaniment to go with that delicious beef.

The Forest Service Didn’t Fail Us The Environmental Industry Captured It

By Frank Carroll

T

he hand-wringing over the Interior Department’s decision to sever 43 partnerships and reclaim roughly $4 million from groups working in “direct opposition” to its mission deserves a blunt response: this was not an attack on conservation. It was a long-overdue audit of an industry that has spent decades mining the federal government for billions while leaving our forests to burn. Let us reject, point by point, the comfortable narrative that casts these groups as selfless stewards. Begin with the premise that organizations like Patagonia and the Wilderness Society are grassroots defenders of the wild. They are not. They are industrial-scale operations with corporate revenues, professional litigation arms, and a financial interest in perpetual conf lict. Every lawsuit, every injunction, every “study” funded by appropriated dollars feeds an ecosystem of activism that profits from paralysis. They do not live in the forests. They visit them, photograph them, and then return to offices to draft the briefs that lock working communities out of the lands their families managed for generations. The consequence of that capture is the quiet death of the multiple-use mandate. The Forest Service was created to manage National Forests for timber, grazing, recreation, watershed, and wildlife — a balance, not a museum. Under sustained activist pressure, the agency abandoned that charter and adopted a Park Service–style preservation model wholly unsuited to lands that were always meant to be worked. The foresters were let go. The lawyers moved in. A train built for productive management was forced onto a dirt road, and we are all living with the wreckage. Now consider the claim presented as gospel: that a century of fire suppression is the settled cause of today’s catastrophic wildfires. It is not settled. It is convenient. Suppression is part of the story, but the far more damning correlation is the collapse of active management. When logging and thin-

ning ended, fuel loads exploded. The roads that once gave firefighters access fell into disrepair. The woods workers — men and women who knew every drainage and every ridge, who fought fire as expertly as they harvested timber — were driven out of the woods. Active management once paid for itself, funded road maintenance, and put skilled hands on the ground. The activists ended all of it, then blamed the smoke on everyone but themselves. The spotted owl remains the emblem of this myopia. In the name of a single species, several million acres of old-growth forest were placed off-limits to management — and then doomed to burn in the very fires that management could have prevented. The owl was not saved. Its habitat was incinerated. And when the barred owl moved in and outcompeted the favored species, the same movement that opposes harvesting a single tree endorsed the slaughter of some 450,000 barred owls. There is no kinder word for a program of shooting one owl species to protect another: it is wildlife ethnic cleansing, dressed in the language of science. This is the recurring pattern. The Green solution is never a solution. It is always a myopic, single-species fixation that ignores the forest as a living, working whole. The activists embraced climate change as a universal explanation precisely because it absolves them of responsibility for the management decisions they imposed. Blame the atmosphere, and you need never answer for the unthinned stands, the gated roads, and the unemployed foresters. In trading its mission for the activist model, the Forest Service lost something it cannot litigate back: the support of the rural communities it was meant to serve. It surrendered its social license to operate. An agency that no longer answers to the people who live in and around the forests is an agency no longer capable of fulfilling its own founding purpose. The Forest Service may be on fire. But if it is, it was the environmental activist industry that lit the flames and then sold the nation a story about who struck the match. The decision to cut these partnerships is not the abandonment of conservation. It is the first decisive step toward restoring it. We look forward to a reinvented Forest Service — one that fires the briefcases, rehires the foresters, reopens the roads, and embraces, at long last, the original mission it was never meant to forget.

Managing Land & Soil

Why It Matters in North-Central New Mexico and Southern Colorado by Juan Montoya, M3 Land & Cattle LLC

I

n north-central New Mexico and into the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado, water gets most of the attention—but land is what determines whether an operation lasts. Soil, vegetation, and how the land is managed decide whether water is held or lost, whether forage improves or declines, and whether an operation becomes more productive over time or slowly breaks down. In this region, land management is not separate from ranching or farming—it is the foundation of it.

Land Is Always Changing From the acequia-fed valleys of Mora, Taos, and Peñasco to the irrigated systems of the San Luis Valley, and into the dryland rangelands near Stanley, land conditions vary—but they all respond the same way to management. Land is not static. It either improves or degrades over time. Every grazing decision, every farming practice, and every season of use leaves an impact. The question is whether that impact moves the land forward—or sets it back.

Soil and Water Work Together Water does not stay on land by accident. Soil structure, plant cover, and organic

matter determine whether water infiltrates or runs off. In healthy systems, moisture is absorbed, stored below the surface, and used over time. In degraded systems, water is lost quickly—through runoff or evaporation— before it can benefit plants. This is why two operations in the same area can receive the same rainfall and see completely different results. The difference is not just water—it is how the land is functioning.

What Healthy Land Actually Looks Like In this region, healthy land is easy to recognize once you know what to look for. Grass is evenly distributed, not patchy. The ground is covered, not exposed. Water soaks in instead of running off. After rainfall, moisture stays in the soil instead of disappearing within hours. Root systems are deeper, which allows plants to recover faster during dry periods. In contrast, degraded land shows the opposite. Bare ground increases. Water runs off instead of soaking in. Grass becomes inconsistent, and recovery slows with each season. These differences are not random—they are the result of management over time.

The Role of Conservation Conservation is often misunderstood as limiting use. In reality, it is about sustaining use. In both ranching and farming, conservation protects the long-term productivity of the land. This includes: ЇЇ maintaining ground cover ЇЇ preventing erosion

managing grazing pressure protecting soil structure These practices do not reduce productivity—they protect it. In a region where recovery is slow, conservation is not optional—it is necessary. ЇЇ ЇЇ

The Cost of Poor Land Management Land does not fail all at once—it declines in ways that are easy to overlook at first. Bare ground begins to increase. Certain grasses disappear while less desirable species take over. Water begins to run off instead of soaking in. Each season, recovery takes longer. In dryland areas like Stanley, these changes can reduce production for multiple years. In irrigated areas, they reduce how effective that water actually is. The longer mismanagement continues, the harder it becomes to reverse.

Managing for Recovery Good land management depends on allowing recovery. In grazing systems, this means giving grasses enough time to regrow and rebuild root systems before being grazed again. Recovery is not based on a schedule—it is based on conditions. In some years, land may recover quickly. In others, especially during drought, recovery may take significantly longer. Ignoring that difference is one of the fastest ways to set land back. In farming systems, it means managing rotations and limiting practices that break down soil. The goal is not just to produce this season—it is to improve the land over time.

Improving land is not about one change— it is about consistent management. Across north-central New Mexico and southern Colorado, strong operations focus on: ЇЇ controlled grazing ЇЇ maintaining plant cover ЇЇ reducing unnecessary soil disturbance ЇЇ paying attention to how the land responds year to year Over time, these practices build soil, improve water retention, and increase longterm productivity.

Looking Forward In north-central New Mexico and southern Colorado, land management will determine which operations hold up—and which ones don’t.

44 JULY 2026

Water will always fluctuate. Weather will remain unpredictable. But land condition is something that can be improved, protected, or neglected. The operations that pay attention to how their land respond year after year—are the ones that stay productive over time. At M3 Land & Cattle, we believe the approach is straightforward: Manage the land with intention. Pay attention to how it responds. Adjust before problems become setbacks. Because in this region, the land keeps track of every decision you make.

How to Prevent Heat Stress in Cattle

by Kay Ledbetter, Texas A & M University

Heat stress in cattle can negatively affect herd health, growth and reproduction. As temperatures increase, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service experts explain what causes heat stress and how to lower the risk. Two AgriLife Extension beef cattle specialists in the Texas A&M Department of Animal Science, Jason Smith, Ph.D., associate professor at the Texas A&M AgriLife High Plains Research and Extension Center at Canyon, and Ron Gill, Ph.D., professor, Chico, said understanding how environment, genetics and management activities interact can help producers protect their herds and maintain productivity during the hottest months. Smith and Gill share their expertise on managing heat stress.

hat causes heat stress? Heat stress occurs when cattle generate and absorb more heat than they can release, affecting their growth, reproduction and overall performance if not managed effectively. Several factors inf luence heat stress, including: ЇЇ Temperature ЇЇ Humidity ЇЇ Air movement ЇЇ Shade availability ЇЇ Water availability ЇЇ Management practices ЇЇ Genetics Humidity is especially impactful because it slows an animal’s ability to release heat. How heat stress varies by region in Texas While parts of Texas regularly experience extreme heat, conditions vary widely across the state, affecting how cattle respond and how producers should prepare.

Why water and shade are critical How much water do cattle need? Cattle will consume around 1 gallon of water per 100 pounds of body weight during cold weather. ЇЇ Consumption may increase to nearly 2 gallons of water per 100 pounds of body weight during the hottest weather. ЇЇ Lactating cows require nearly twice as ЇЇ

much water as non-lactating cows. Providing plenty of clean, fresh water is one of the best ways to prevent heat stress. During extreme heat, cattle drink more water to regulate body temperature. If water is limited, the risk of severe stress — and even death — rises quickly. Young calves are especially vulnerable. In their first weeks, they may not drink enough water to help cool themselves. Shade also helps keep cattle cooler by limiting sun exposure, especially in regions with higher humidity.

Which cattle tolerate heat the best?

NMFLC continues to protect and serve federal grazing allotment owners and State Trust Land lessees of New Mexico on a local and national level.

Some cattle tolerate heat better than others. It’s all in the genetics. Breeds with Brahman influence generally handle heat better because they are adapted to tropical environments. Other breeds more commonly found in temperate climates may need more management during hot weather. Over time, producers can improve herd resilience by selecting cattle that perform well under heat stress.

When and how cattle are handled can significantly affect heat stress, as well. Producers can reduce risk by planning around weather conditions and avoiding multiple stressors at once. Use the Temperature Humidity Index, THI, to determine when cattle may be at a greater risk and adjust management activities accordingly. Get localized and real-time THI on the ThermalAid website. The experts also recommend: ЇЇ Working cattle early in the morning or later in the evening. ЇЇ Avoiding handling during peak heat hours to limit stress. ЇЇ Watching for signs of severe heat stress, such as open-mouth breathing, which requires immediate attention. ЇЇ Providing access to water in holding pens and when moving cattle. These simple steps can make a significant difference in protecting cattle health and maintaining production, they said.

Breathing Under Pressure: Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy in Horses

Nerves on high alert

RLN is a degenerative process that almost exclusively affects the left recurrent laryngeal nerve — an important nerve that plays a key role in a horse’s ability to breathe, neigh, and make other vocalizations. “The nerve at risk runs from the base of the skull down the neck, wraps around the aorta inside the chest, and then courses back fessor of equine soft tissue surgery at the up the neck to support the various muscles Texas A&M University College of Veterinary that control the larynx — also referred to as Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, explains the voice box,” Major said. the ins and outs of RLN and how the condiAs the nerve degenerates, the muscle tion is diagnosed and treated. responsible for opening the larynx to allow air to pass through begins to weaken and the airway’s diameter decreases; when this happens, an action as simple as breathing becomes a struggle. “A characteristic ‘roaring’ sound is often the first thing noted by owners,” Major said. “As the horse draws in air, the pressure within the airway causes one of a pair of cartilages in the larynx (colloquially known as a “flapper”) to collapse, which impedes the flow of air and vibrates as air passes by it. This results in a higher pitched, vibrating sound as the horse breathes.” As the condition progresses, exercise intolerance and decreased performance may also become noticeable symptoms, especially for highly active horses.

Although RLN is idiopathic — meaning veterinarians don’t really know why it happens — there are various factors that can increase risk and severity. “The condition is more common in larger horses, presumably because the nerve is longer,” Major said. “Racing Thoroughbreds, warmbloods, larger quarter horses like those used for barrel racing, and draft breeds are the most affected breeds.” The season and climate can also play a

role in horses developing RLN, with cases increasing as the temperature does. “The heat can significantly exacerbate the condition, as this results in higher demands on the respiratory system to assist in cooling, particularly when exercising,” Major said. “We often have an uptick in these cases in spring and summer when people are actively showing their horses.” Trauma to the throat and leakage around blood vessel injection sites of medications can also result in RLN.

Recognizing and resolving When diagnosing RLN, veterinarians take several factors into consideration. They begin by reviewing the horse’s medical history, including any past trauma. Next, they will perform a physical examination of the larynx; any suspected abnormalities are confirmed with an upper airway endoscopy, a procedure that uses a small camera to visually access the horse’s airway. In addition to those methods, Major also recommends exploring dynamic endoscopy, a diagnostic procedure available at some larger veterinary hospitals. “This diagnostic option utilizes a specialized endoscope that is worn on the horse’s head while it is exercising,” Major said. “This

allows us to diagnose more subtle forms of its original state,” Major said. “We are just RLN and assess for the development of other trying to improve airflow to a level that the airway abnormalities that may result second- horse can return to its intended level of ary to the disease.” performance.” Once RLN is detected, surgery is usually necessary, as the issue can lead to complete Breathing a sigh of relief paralysis of the left side of the larynx.

increasing carcass weights. Average cattle carcass weights have increased from about 600 pounds twenty-five years ago to roughly 710 pounds currently. The Mexican beef industry evolved from predominantly grassfed production to current production where most cattle are fed in feedlots. This, along with improved cattle genetics and management, has led to increased carcass weights (Figure 1). Beef consumption in Mexico averages about 24 pounds per year, retail weight. Beef imports in Mexico are equivalent to roughly ten percent of production in recent years but down from about 22 percent of production two decades ago. Moreover, Mexico has become a significant beef exporter and has been a net exporter the past ten years. (Figure 2). Mexico is currently the number eleven beef exporting country. The Mexican beef industry has modernized and developed significant infrastructure the past two-plus decades. Cattle and beef trade between Mexico and the U.S. has evolved from a long history of cattle exports to the U.S. to include Mexico becoming a major beef export destination for the U.S., and recently with Mexico becoming a significant source of U.S. beef imports. The increasingly integrated trade relationship adds value to the beef industries in both countries. Not exporting feeder cattle to the U.S. means that more cattle are staying in Mexico to be finished for beef production. It also likely means that fewer cattle are being imported from Central America, which has been a source of supplemental cattle supply in recent years. Mexican beef imports will likely decrease, and beef exports will increase in the absence of cattle exports. Production systems and supply chains will continue to evolve in Mexico.

he U.S. Department of Agriculture has welcomed new guidance from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Department of Labor clarifying that dairy operations may use the H-2A temporary agricultural worker program when they can demonstrate a qualifying temporary or seasonal labor need under existing law. The policy memorandum provides additional clarity regarding how U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will evaluate H-2A petitions for dairy-related work. Under the guidance, dairy operations will be

subject to the same statutory and regulatory standards applied to all H-2A employers, with petitions evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on the employer’s demonstrated temporary or seasonal need. The guidance clarifies that dairying is an agricultural activity eligible for consideration under the H-2A program and recognizes that dairy operations may experience temporary or seasonal labor needs that qualify for H-2A employment. It also confirms that employers seeking H-2A workers for dairy-related positions may use e x i s t i n g H -2 A p r o c e d u r e s a n d requirements. For many dairy farmers, labor availability remains a significant challenge. The clarification provides additional certainty regarding the circumstances under which dairy operations may access the H-2A program while maintaining existing protections for U.S. workers and ensuring compliance with applicable federal law.

REAL ESTATE GUIDE

he Leonard boys, Jody and Dave, now young teenagers, were learning to rope and wanted to get involved in Little Britches Rodeo and the National High School Rodeo. Their dad, Joe, had picked up a good-looking four-year-old bay gelding called Apache. The horse had been with a local trainer and friend. In those days, you didn’t start a horse until it was four years old or close to it— maybe that’s why they stayed sound and lasted. Apache had one bad habit. He was kind of cold-backed and needed to be loped a lot to warm him up. He was extremely fast, but different from most horses. Usually, a horse will show signs when it’s about to blow up—but not Apache. He gave absolutely no warning. He only did it about one out of ten times, which made it even worse because it caught you completely off guard. We were headed to the west pasture to look for a bull that hadn’t been seen for a while. There was an unwritten rule on the ranch: if you left headquarters to do a job and your horse failed to get it done, you either shot it or sold it, depending on how serious the problem was. We were a couple of miles out, riding along, and Jody was still loping Apache. I said, “He’s going to wear that horse out.” Joe replied, “Vernie said you always need to do that. Besides, that horse is tough—you could lope him for a week and he’d still be ready to go.” We came over a small rise and saw the wreck. Apache had done his thing and bucked Jody off. The problem was, Jody was hanging upside down, with his boot and spur caught in the latigo on the saddle horn, and the horse was still running and bucking. We took off after him, but none of our horses could outrun Apache. When we came over the next hill, Apache was still running and bucking, but Jody was on the ground. He was lying flat on his back, not moving. We jumped off, and Joe listened to his chest, then yelled, “He’s okay.” Now, “okay” is a relative term with these guys. The side of his face was discolored, and his right eye was swollen shut. He was trying to say something, so Joe leaned in close to hear him. Jody muttered, “Is that sucker gone?” It took a while for Jody to collect himself, so we propped him up against a tree in the shade. By then, Dave had caught the horse and brought him back. Joe said, “Get that roping saddle off him and put my saddle on.”

Joe stepped up on Apache and dug in with definitely qualified as handicap roping, and the big Mexican spur rowels he always wore. It 10.6 was outstanding. proved to be a poor choice. I believe that horse Jody rode back over to where Joe and I were could have qualified for the National Finals. standing. He was soaking wet, covered in mud, About the fourth jump, the latigo on Joe’s and said, “Sure would be easier if he’d quit saddle broke, and both Joe and the saddle that!” ended up in a cedar tree. Climbing out and calling the horse a few choice names, Joe limped back and said, “Dave, saddle him and go.” Dave, just a young teenager, didn’t stand a chance either. Then Joe looked at me and said, “Your turn.” “Who said I wanted a turn?” I replied. I rAnch Broker would have been perfectly happy to pass. I lasted three jumps before ending up in the dirt — Petroleum Building — myself. 14 e. Beauregard Ave., Suite 201 We sat there, half-crippled and with our egos thoroughly bruised. The boys asked, “Dad, San Angelo, texas 76903-5831 do we have to shoot him?” It got quiet for a few ofc.: 325/655-3555 minutes before Joe said, “No. We paid too much for him, and he’s going to be too good. We need to go home, load him up, and take him back to Vernie.” We limped back to headquarters looking like survivors of the OK Corral, loaded Apache, and drove about seventeen miles to the trainer’s RANCH & FARM PROPERTIES place. After telling him what happened, he said, RANCH & FARM PROPERTIES 575-640-9395 “Well, leave him.” We quickly answered, “No— 575-640-9395 we want to see you ride him.” KEITH BROWNFIELD We leaned on the corral fence, eager to KEITH BROWNFIELD Associate Broker, GRI watch. It was wild and loud. Apache didn’t just Associate Broker, GRI www.BrownfieldRanchandFarmProperties.com buck—he squealed and came completely www.BrownfieldRanchandFarmProperties.com BHGRE Steinborn & Associates unglued. Finally, he quit, soaked in sweat, BHGRE Steinborn 141 Roadrunner Pkwy., Ste 141 & LasAssociates Cruces, NM 88011 141 Roadrunner Pkwy., Ste 141 Las Cruces, NM 88011 575-522-3698 breathing hard and exhausted. Vernie slowly 575-522-3698 rode over and said, “Okay, boys, he’s still a little rough. Best leave him for thirty days.” A couple of years later, I had moved to Texas, but Jody was roping at North Platte in the high school finals. I went up to watch him. It had been raining for several days, and everything was mud and water. The arena was no exception—there was about ten inches of mud and water in the roping box and throughout the www.ranchesnm.com arena. 575/622-5867 Jody told his dad, “I can’t lope him to take 575/420-1237 the edge off—it’s too slick. What do you think?” Ranch Sales & Appraisals Joe said, “To help prevent a wreck, if he does his thing, tie a cord from his bit to the rope. As long as you hang on, he’ll have to face you instead of running off. Don’t worry about how you get off—the mud will slow you down once REAL ESTATE SERVICES you catch.

NEW MEXICO’S OLD TIMES & OLD TIMERS by Don Bullis, New Mexico Author donbullis@msn.com

Joseph G. Knapp, Supreme Court Justice

N

ew Mexicans are often not familiar with Joseph G. Knapp (1805-1888), but he was an important figure in the territory during the Civil War days, and he paid a high price for his opposition to the high-handed behavior of Colonel James H. Carleton (1814-1873), New Mexico’s military commander, and James Sebrie Watts (1816-1876), an attorney and New Mexico’s representative to Congress. President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) appointed Knapp, a Republican from New York to the New Mexico Territorial Supreme Court bench in 1861, and while Knapp didn’t serve long—about three years—he managed to draw attention to the numerous irregularities and illegalities he perceived in territorial government, its courts and the United States military then occupying New Mexico. He had no more than established himself as judge of the Third Judicial District in southern New Mexico, when he got into a dispute with Col. Carleton. This initially had to do with Carleton’s support for his friend James S. Watts. Watts represented clients who were trying to gain clear title to what was called the Journada del Muerto land grant, some 2,000,000 acres located between Las Cruces and Socorro and Watts himself personally stood to acquire a sizable portion of the grant, should the court approve it. Judge Knapp made it clear that his court was opposed to the claimants’ position. Then, in 1863, Colonel Carleton, fearful, he said, of Confederate espionage, required that travelers in New Mexico carry a “passport” to prove identity to authorities. Knapp refused to secure such a document. He considered it an insult to his office. He was supported in that view by New Mexico Supreme Court Chief Justice Kirby Benedict (1811-1874) and Territorial Indian agent Michael Steck (1818-1883). When Judge Knapp was obliged to attend a meeting of the Territorial Supreme Court in Santa Fe he traveled north without one. Carleton promptly had him arrested and placed in jail in Santa Fe. That prevented him from sitting on the court, which was scheduled to hear the matter of the Journada de Muerto grant. The court could not act for want of a quorum. Knapp did not perceive that as coincidental. He protested loudly what he called the military despotism in New Mexico. He also made no secret that he strongly opposed Carleton’s plan to place the entire Navajo Tribe at Bosque Redondo along the Pecos River of eastern New Mexico. Recall that Carleton ordered thus: “All Indian men are to be killed whenever and wherever you can find them. The women and children will not be harmed, but you will take them prisoners.” Knapp also alleged that Carleton only paid $3.00 per fanega1 when

160 JULY 2026

he confiscated grain from the citizens of southern New Mexico, but more than $32.00 per fanega1 when he purchased corn from his friends for use at Bosque Redondo. Carleton was not dissuaded. He wrote this to his superior: “[Knapp is] a meddlesome mischief maker…. No one expects quiet here as along the President permits him to remain.” In 1863, Knapp made a trip to Washington, D. C. in an effort to have Carleton removed from New Mexico. He intended to argue that martial law in New Mexico was illegal and that Carleton was a party to corruption and gouging by military contractors. The problem was that James S. Watts arrived in Washington first. Knapp wrote, “I met Judge Watts at the door of the Attorney General in Washington, as he came from the President with the order for my removal in his hand….” That ended Knapp’s tenure on the bench in New Mexico. He continued to campaign against the deplorable situation in the territory, and returned for few years in the early 1870s, and practiced law in Mesilla. His work did not go unnoticed. When he left New Mexico, the Santa Fe New Mexican referred to him as “no ordinary man,” but a man possessed of “the elements of true greatness.” He died in Florida where he made his home after the death of his wife in 1875. Carleton, described by one historian as “… arbitrary, tyrannical and a cruel disciplinarian,” was roundly disliked by many New Mexicans and they loudly protested to Washington until the colonel was transferred out of New Mexico in 1866 and sent to Texas. He never returned to New Mexico. John Watts ultimately lost in his efforts to acquire one half of the Journada del Muerto land grant. It should be noted, too, that at the time of these events, the United States Civil War (1861-1865) was well underway, and it is therefore unlikely that President Lincoln had much time for entertaining squabbles between New Mexico officials, no matter how important they may have been to the territory at the time. 1A fanega amounts to just over 1.5 bushels.car

U.S. Forest Service Adds Protections to Limit Health Risks for Wildland Firefighters

T

he U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service along with the Department of the Interior recently announced new steps to reduce hazardous exposure for federal wildland firefighters during the 2026 fire year. These actions include expanded access to N95 respirators on the fire line, required training and standardized decontamination protocols. Wildland firefighters work in extreme conditions with prolonged exposure to

smoke, ash and airborne particles. While no respirator currently meets Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards for wildland firefighting, the Forest Service is moving forward with practical protections that can reduce risk now. “Secretary Rollins has made it clear that we will no longer stand by as firefighters face long-term health risks just from doing their job,” said Forest Service Deputy Chief of Fire and Aviation Management, Sarah Fisher. The action we are taking is about doing right by the people who put themselves between

our communities and escalating wildfire threats. Improving respiratory safety and expanding decontamination practices are practical, common-sense measures that will make a real difference on the ground.” For the first time, federal wildland firefighters are authorized to use N95 respirators on the fire line after receiving formal training on their safe use in the wildland fire environment. Expanded N95 use provides a meaningful, immediate tool to reduce the inhalation of particulates that can result in future health impacts. At the same time, both departments are pursuing a full respiratory protection program that is complaint with Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements. These actions reflect a commitment Secretary Rollins outlined in her 2026 Wildfire Readiness Memo to minimize health impacts for wildland firefighters to the maximum extent possible through immediate interim measures while pursuing long-term solutions. In addition, decontamination will be integrated into daily operations. Showers, gear cleaning and clean-air recovery reduce cumulative exposure and potential longterm health implications.

Alternative Proteins:

Background on Alternative Proteins Legislation

Litigation and Legislation Updates

Alternative proteins is a term that is used to describe lab-grown protein products or meat substitutes, such as plant or insectbased proteins.

Specifically, states have passed laws requirSource: Southern Ag Today multiple court rulings and numerous legis- ing these products to bear certain labeling n 2026, alternative proteins remain one of lative enactments related to alternative disclosures or prohibiting them from using the most talked about areas of food law. proteins.

For halfway point, and there have already been instance, in Alabama, cell-cultured meat is prohibited from being labeled as “meat.” However, in Oklahoma, a cell-cultured meat product may be labeled as “meat” if it also contains the disclosure “lab-grown.” There are currently 23 states with laws creating specific labeling requirements for alternative proteins. Additionally, over the past few years, eight states have passed legislation that restricts the sale or manufacture of cell-cultured proteins. Three of these prohibitions are temporary, while the other 5 are permanent.

2026 Updates So far, five states have passed legislation related to alternative proteins. South Dakota passed legislation that would ban the “sell[ing], offer[ing] for sale, hold[ing] for sale, or distribut[ing] . . . any product containing cell-cultured protein from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2030. Mississippi became the first state in the nation to ban cultivated dairy. Defined as a product that “intend[s] to replicate or to substitute for milk and that is derived from animal cells cultured outside of a live animal,” a cell-cultured dairy product is prohibited from being sold or offered for sale in the state of Mississippi. Further, three states passed legislation that creates labeling requirements for alternative proteins. Ohio now requires that cultivated-protein food products, plant-protein food products, insect-protein food products, and fabricated-egg products must bear a “qualifying term,” such as “vegan” or “fake,” if the product’s label includes terms or language suggesting or describing it as a meat or egg product. Ohio’s bill directs state education providers to adopt a policy preventing their purchase of cell-cultured protein food products. Ohio Rev. Code § 3313.8110.

166 JULY 2026

Similar to Ohio’s labeling law, Virginia passed legislation that classifies plant-based, insect-based, fungus-based, and cultivated protein food products to be misbranded if it uses a term which “identifies the food as a meat food product or poultry product” unless it bears a “qualifying term” in close proximity. The Virginia law includes terms like “imitation,” “meatless,” “plant-based,” or “veggie” as qualifying terms. Last, Idaho passed legislation that required cell-cultivated animal proteins to be labeled with the phrases “lab-grown,” “cell-cultivated,” or “cell-cultured.” Further, while the Idaho law does not exclude cell-cultivated animal proteins from being labeled with traditional meat terms like “beef ” or “chicken,” it does prohibit the use of specific meat cut terms like “steak” or “brisket” on cultivated meat “not derived from traditional livestock production or wild game harvest.”

2026 Litigation Updates A number of the alternative protein laws that have been enacted in previous years have faced challenges in the courts, and so far in 2026, three notable decisions have been made. Texas Cell-Cultured Protein Ban First, in January, a federal court in Texas ruled that the federal Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) does not preempt Texas’ ban on cell-cultured proteins. The PPIA is the federal law that “regulates the processing, inspection, distribution, labeling, and sale of poultry products sold in interstate commerce,” and it includes an express preemption clause that prohibits states from imposing additional requirements “with respect to premises, facilities, and operations of any official establishments.” Here, the court found that Texas’ ban on cell-cultured proteins does not fall within the scope of the PPIA’s preemption clause because it is a “complete sales ban” and has no impact on food safety or behaviors that could lead to an adulterated chicken product. Thus, the court dismissed the plaintiff’s preemption claim. However, because only one of the plaintiff’s claims was dismissed, the litigation remains ongoing. Texas Alternative Protein Labeling Law Additionally, in January, a Texas federal court struck down the Texas law that created labeling requirements for “analogue products.” These products are defined as “a food product derived by combining processed plant products, insects, or fungus with food additives to approximate the texture, flavor,

Noah Gonzales took home the HS Bull Riding Championship from the State Finals as well as lay ing claim to t he Year End Championship. Noah’s senior year didn’t start out looking Noah Gonzales, 2026 like any of that was possible. Last fall he Year End and State entered the first HS rodeo in Socorro and Finals Bull Riding Champion. won a round. A week later he hurt arm pretty badly at an open bull riding in Las Cruces, and that forced him to sit out the rest of the fall season. Spring rodeos started and Noah was back in Socorro and got another round win. He used that momentum to claw his way back through the spring to walk away with the 2025-26 Champion. “That’s probably one of my greatest accomplishments,” he said, referring to losing out on half his senior year of rodeo and making a comeback in the spring. “I wasn’t really too sure I even had a chance, but I was sure I was going to try my best,” he said. His most memorable accomplishment was when he was younger, he won a buckle in the Junior Bull Riding at the Bucking for the Cure Bull Riding that was held to raise money for cancer research. “I won that when my Mom was at Bethesda for cancer treatment. That meant everything to me.” One of the people important to Noah in his riding career has been Casey Roberts of Diamond C Bucking Bulls. Casey will tell you that Noah is an “old soul” and mature beyond his years. Noah at the April Lovington HS rodeo. “That whole family is a pleasure to be around, even his ornery dad Adam” he said with a laugh. “When Noah believes he can ride as good as he can ride, there won’t be any stopping him. I expect big things from him as he goes on from here.” Noah is looking forward to college rodeo where he has been signed to compete with the NMSU Rodeo Team. “Cade and Caleb Griego have been mentors to me,” he said. “I’ve always loved being around them, practicing with them. And Cody Custer, having him as a good friend means a lot. Learning how easy it is to just talk with them, meant everything to me. And I am grateful to my sponsors, Four Rivers Equipment, for believing in me.” The oldest of three boys in the family Noah appreciates that his parents have worked so hard to get him down the road and for his brothers, Roper and Colton, always being there for him. His parents didn’t ever rodeo, so the desire for Noah happened when he was only

three. “I rode my first sheep in the mutton busting and I’ve never stopped riding since.” Some of Noah’s best rodeo and high school friends (Moriarty High) are all ropers. (Macen Segura, Reno Scribner and Tate White). The obvious question is how did you hang around those really good ropers and not pick up a rope yourself? “Because I really suck at roping,” he laughed. Noah’s humble nature is genuine and shows through in his conversation and his actions. It’s something he doesn’t ever want to lose, but he’s also discovered that rodeo itself will keep him humble. He shared a story about the bull that recently bucked him off in the short go of the State Finals. “His name is Uno. I rode that bull to win a go round at Junior High Nationals when I was an 8th grader,” he said. “Cody Custer owned him then, and now he belongs to Casey Roberts. He’s older and slower and I didn’t really think he even belonged in the draw for the short round, and of course, I drew him. And then he bucked me off.” The pup in the bullpen bucked off the champion. It is a humble Noah that heads to High School National Rodeo Finals in July with no shortage of skill and an increasing confidence and belief in himself. That’s a good recipe.

appearance, or other aesthetic qualities or the chemical characteristics of any specific type of egg, egg product, fish, meat, meat food product, poultry, or poultry product.” Here, the court found that the Texas law was an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment. Because the “speech” at issue here was the labels used on food products, it was considered “commercial speech.” Here the court determined that this commercial speech was improperly restricted by Texas because 1) the labels were not misleading, 2) the law did not target a substantial government interest, 3) Texas did not directly advance the government interest asserted, and 4) the law did not achieve the desired goal in the least restrictive way. Because the Texas law was found to violate the First Amendment, it was struck down. However, because it was determined earlier in the case that the plaintiffs did not have standing to challenge the cell-cultured product labeling laws, those are still enforceable. Florida Cell-Cultured Meat Ban Last, in March 2026, the Eleventh Circuit published an opinion that upheld Florida’s ban on the production and sale of cell-cultured meat. This ruling is noteworthy because it was one of the first times an appellate court has weighed in on the regulation of the sale of alternative proteins. However, this was not a ruling on the merits. The Eleventh Circuit determined here that the distinct court’s denial of a preliminary injunction was proper and agreed that the Florida ban was likely not preempted by the PPIA. Nevertheless, while the preliminary injunction question was at the Eleventh Circuit, the lower district court did rule to dismiss the preemption claims and that ruling is final. The litigation remains ongoing though as the district court considers a separate claim – whether Florida’s law violates the Dormant Commerce Clause. For more detail about the Eleventh Circuit’s decision, click here to read NALC article “Eleventh Circuit takes up Florida’s Ban on Cell-Cultured Meat.”
