Wow, that is a nasty economic loss! I think $1000 per animal is not unreasonable, so this would be a $200,000 loss.

That was my first thought. Easy 200,000. Probably closer to $250,000-$300,000, maybe more if they were breeding stock.

I hope the farmer was insured. And I hope that it isn’t the start of a bigger epidemic.

Floyd ponders if that big a$$ sale on the GM corn was worth it.
