Meet Don Clark for today's Farmer Friday!

Today we introduce Holley Sheals for today's Farmer Friday!

Holley is a graduate student at Arkansas State University. She currently works on the college farm where she does research on winter hair coat shedding in cattle. She got involved with agriculture through school and taking classes.

"I joined ACLC to make connections that will last and learn how to be a better cattlemen," Sheals said.

New World Screwworm has been confirmed in a calf in South Texas, marking the first U.S. case during the current outbreak.

The good news: the U.S. beef supply remains safe. NWS is an animal health issue, not a food safety issue.

Arkansas producers should stay vigilant, monitor livestock for unusual wounds or signs of infestation, and contact their veterinarian with any concerns.

Most importantly, rely on trusted sources and avoid misinformation. We’ll continue sharing updates as more information becomes available.

Meet Clint Young for this week's farmer Friday!

Clint is a cow/calf producer in Little River County. His involvement in agriculture began in high school.
