> USDA reported an atypical (L-type) BSE case in an eleven-year-old cow in Alabama, found through routine surveillance at a livestock market. The animal never entered slaughter channels. A separate note says the EU-Japan agreement will gradually cut tariffs on EU beef and pork into Japan from about 2019.

## Why it matters

The BSE case is unlikely to affect food supply but could prompt short-term trade caution, while the EU-Japan deal would erode U.S. beef share in a key export market over time.
