The California Dairy Quality Assurance Program outlines USDA and SENASICA inspection and treatment protocols for Mexican cattle imports. It notes that the Douglas, Arizona and Santa Teresa, New Mexico ports have reopened, with more ports planned.
Stricter protocols slow the pace of cattle entries, so reopening is gradual rather than a sudden flood of supply. The effect on feeder prices is limited.
After 29 past neutral disease events, Feeder Cattle moved a median +0.6% over 5 sessions (62% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.2%), and +1.0% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
