It's Coming." What The Screwworm Could Do To Texas

The threat is only dozens of miles from Texas’ southern border. And if it takes hold, it could lead to an economic loss in the billions. The New World Screwworm (NWS) seeks out wounded animals, but could also infest our pets, even hunters. In this episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons learn about the steps Texas leaders are taking to keep the pests out of Texas, and the plan to deal with it when it crosses the border. And a Texas rancher with hundreds of head of cattle explains what’s keeping him up at night. GUESTS Dr. Thomas “TR” Lansford, Texas Animal Health Commission James Foster, Texas Rancher
