A Cattlemex producer voices concern about the prolonged closure of the US-Mexico border to feeder cattle, which was shut in November 2024 over New World screwworm. Before the closure, feeder cattle imports from Mexico exceeded 1 million head annually.
The continued loss of Mexican feeder supply keeps US feeder cattle supplies constrained, which supports feeder prices.
After 122 past bullish disease events, FCATTLE moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -1.0% to +1.6%), and +2.0% over 20.
