Lack of confidence in the
federal brucellosis eradication
program has long hurt the
effectiveness of these efforts.
Cattlemen claim the blood test
is often inaccurate and cer-
tainly over-condemnitory so
that many thousands of healthy
cattle have been sent to
slaughter needlessly. The
traceback system which
identifies the herd of origin of
those cattle reacting positive on
the test often takes many
months, making it impossible
for ranchers to identify which
other cattle of his might have
been exposed. Also plagued by
long delays have been the in
demni ty pa yments.
The TSCRA also questioned
USDA’s right to restrict
shipment from those Texas
counties which have reached

embargo is the financial effect
imposed on purebred
operations, states the TSCRA.
Major stock shows in Texas,
which annually draw thousands
of head of cattle to be exhibited
and sold, would be vastly
curtailed under an embargo.
Purebred sales of all kinds
would be threatened, since out-
of-state buying would be
significantly reduced. The
timing of the proposed em-
bargo does not allow purebred
herds time enough to achieve a
qualified status through con-
tinuous testing that would allow
out-of-state shipment during
early 1976, the TSCRA claims.
certified free status. “The law
states that any state or political
subdivision thereof which
complies with USDA’s uniform
methods and rules must be
recognized as such,’’ said
Moore. “A county is a political
subdivision and we have many
in the state which have cleaned
up brucellosis according to the
regulations.”
Moore also pointed to new
"breakthroughs” from the
scientific community that are
on the horizon, promising a
much more practical amd
medically sound program to
deal with the disease. Swift
implementation of these new
processes and developments
would be a much wiser plan of
action for USDA, he said, than
the expensive machinery to
control an embargo between
states.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS-An
injunction to prevent the USDA
from imposing its threat of
embargo of Texas breeding
cattle was brought into federal
district court in Austin by the
Texas and Southwestern Cattle
Raisers Association Friday.
The suit, naming as defendants
Secretary of Agriculture Earl
L. Butz, APHIS Administrator
F. J. Mulhern, and Deputy
Administrator J. M. Hejl, and
Paul Becton, in charge of
I Brucellosis for APHIS, seeks to
obtain an injunction restraining
the order to cut off federal
brucellosis funds as well as to
implement the embargo, ac-
cording to TSCRA President
Hilmar G. Moore.
The suit charges that the
USDA has failed to meet
requirements in not filing an
i environmental impact
statement on the proposed
1 embargo with the En-
I vironmental Protection
I Agency. Such a statement,
| required by law, entails a
/lengthy review and a hearing
kith an eventual ruling by the
courts
TSCRA is suing for
"declaritory relief and
preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief from the
provisions and requirements of
the Brucellosis Eradication
Program of the United States
Department of Agriculture.”
The suit claims that the

will significantly affect the
quality of human environment
within the meaning of the
National Environmental Policy
Act. The resulting increase of
cattle numbers from such an
embargo and the increase of
the disease caused by with
drawal of funds and personnel
would have an impact on the
quality of the state’s air,
grasslands, soil and water
resources, the suit claims.
In requesting an en-
vironmental impact statement,
the TSCRA is in general
repeating its request of the past
two years that a high-level,
impartial feasivility study of
brucellosis and its combatting
efforts be initiated by
Congress.
The threat of an embargo of
Texas cattie resulted from the
Texas Animal Health Com-
mission’s refusal to adopt
USDA’s new restrictive
measures in the brucellosis
program. The TSCRA, long an
opponent of the "over-kill"
aspects of the federal
regulations, actively supported
the commission’s stand taken
at the September 4 TAHC
meeting in Austin. Hilmar
Moore gave testimony of strong
opposition to the adoption of
USDA's ever tightening
regulations at the hearing
which preceded the TAHC’s
decision
