# Cattle Crash Early Friday on Lower Cash, Fear of Mexican Border Reopening - AgWeb

> Live and feeder cattle futures fell sharply on Friday, with feeder cattle hitting limit-down moves after a sharp drop the prior session. Traders liquidated long positions over uncertainty about when US imports of Mexican cattle would resume. USDA Secretary Rollins also announced a new sterile fly dispersal facility in Mexico to fight New World Screwworm.

## Why it matters

Delayed resumption of Mexican feeder cattle imports keeps domestic feeder supplies tight, but the lack of a reopening date is driving risk-off selling. Screwworm progress will determine how soon the border can reopen.
