Chris Lyons+FollowFrance’s Cattle Hit by Rare Viral OutbreakFrance just found its first case of lumpy skin disease in cattle, and it’s a big deal for farmers. This virus spreads fast through insect bites, causing blisters and less milk (but don’t worry, it can’t infect humans). Authorities are locking down cattle movement in a huge area near the Alps to stop it from spreading. Trade could take a hit, and it’s already been spotted in Italy and North Africa recently. Wild times for the French countryside! #FranceNews #Cattle #LumpySkinDisease #Health #BodyHealth40Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowWhy Steak Night Might Cost More SoonHeads up, grill masters! Cattle prices just hit new highs, thanks to a strong demand for beef and some serious bidding wars at the stockyards. If you’ve noticed your favorite steak or burger costing more at the grocery store, this is why. The buzz? Heavier steers and lighter feeders are both fetching higher prices, so expect those summer BBQs to get a little pricier. Time to keep an eye out for those meat sales! #beefprices #foodbudget #marketwatch #cattle #BBQseason #Business20Share
