Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program Enhancement Act of 2025
This bill requires the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to enter into a contract to evaluate the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program.
Under the program, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service works in coordination with the Texas Animal Health Commission to combat the spread of cattle fever ticks, which can spread a serious cattle disease called bovine babesiosis or cattle fever.
Specifically, USDA must enter into a contract to review and report on the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program with a (1) land-grant college or university, or (2) non-land-grant college of agriculture.
The review must include an evaluation of the program's (1) effectiveness with respect to preventing and reducing the spread of cattle fever ticks; and (2) benefits, and the burdens of compliance, to cattle producers.
The review must also evaluate the treatment protocols developed and implemented under the program.
Further, the review must evaluate the federal and state funds allocated to support the program for the most recent fiscal year.
