Panama and the United States marked the 25th anniversary of COPEG, the joint screwworm eradication program based on sterile fly production. The program has invested $350 million over 25 years and is credited with about $2.5 billion in livestock savings.

After 69 past neutral disease events, Live Cattle moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -0.8% to +0.6%), and +0.9% over 20.
