Northern Ireland's Chief Veterinary Officer urged livestock keepers to be vigilant after a second bluetongue case was found in Great Britain. The case was a sheep imported from France, following an earlier case in two cattle from France.
Bluetongue is an animal disease with limited direct effect on feed prices, though import restrictions could tighten livestock supply in the UK and Europe.
After 356 past disease events, Live Cattle moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -0.8% to +1.1%), and +1.1% over 20.
After 266 past disease events, Feeder Cattle moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (59% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.7%), and +1.7% 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.
