The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association is aware of online rumors that allege a new or unknown animal disease is circulating in a feedlot in the Texas Panhandle. “These claims are false,” NCBA said in a release. Animal health officials from the USDA, state officials in Texas, along with leaders at the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, have confirmed there is no such disease present. “Spreading unverified information like this is not only irresponsible, it’s harmful to cattle producers, the beef supply chain, and consumer confidence in our safe and wholesome product,” NCBA said. “Our industry depends on transparency, science-based animal health protocols, and strong collaboration with state and federal animal health authorities.” The organization encourages everyone to rely on credible sources and verified information. NCBA said it will continue working closely with animal health officials to monitor any legitimate concerns and ensure the continued health of the U.S. cattle herd.
