decisions.\n\n- Europe GDT Skimmilk Powders changes dairy margin pressure: What changed: 3,457 $/mt in the latest Global Dairy Trade public results. The event-to-event index move is -3.0%. Why it matters: Milk-check expectations, ration tolerance, cull timing, replacement appetite, dairy-beef supply, processor support, and export-linked demand. Producer move: Stress-test the milk check against delivered feed before adding ration cost, delaying culls, or keeping marginal cows another cycle. Source: Global Dairy Trade (https://www.globaldairytrade.info/).

The balance sheet is -14.0% versus 2025, so read it against local prices instead of treating daily headlines as isolated events. Why it matters: Feed availability, import exposure, ration coverage, feeder bids, retained-weight economics, and crop-to-cattle margin.
