Torrential rains affected nearly 1 million hectares, with more than 700,000 cattle

Torrential rains that hit several regions of the country over several days caused significant damage and disruptions in livestock areas. In the region known as the “bajos submeridionales,” which covers part of northern Santa Fe, northeastern Santiago del Estero and southern Chaco, it is estimated that close to 1 million hectares, with around 700,000 head of cattle, were flooded, hindering both the movement of cattle to other fields and their shipment to slaughter.
