Clovis, NM - Some good news for Eastern New Mexico ranchers devastated by this drought.

They now have one less thing to worry about, thanks to the USDA.

The federal agency determined the threat of bovine tuberculosis is no longer there for cattle in Curry and Roosevelt counties.

Dairy and beef production are central to the area's economy.

New Mexico's US Senator Tom Udall says the restored TB-free status is a testimony to the quality products distributed by that state's producers.

Every other New Mexico county was cleared two years ago, So Curry and Roosevelt have been waiting quite a while for their turn.
