Beef Recall FAQ
However, USDA officials believe most of the beef already has been consumed, as most of it is a raw beef product with a very brief shelf life.

Estes posts solid win over Stafford
The local things are meeting transportation needs and the illegal immigration problem."

That border may seem a long way away to folks in Wichita Falls, he said, “but it affects every Texan." Estes said he would continue legislation that would attack methamphetamine use, something he said would probably be a “never-ending fight." Estes said he'd felt an outpouring of support throughout the campaign, “voting support and financial support.
