Beef prices have reached record highs due to limited cattle supplies. This development is related to a trade restriction that has been in place for over a year. A significant change is set to occur on August 24, affecting the cattle industry.

Further information is available from Houston Public Media. The situation involves the importation of cattle from Mexico, which had been halted due to concerns about a certain parasite, and its impact on local markets in areas like Piney Point Village.
