See what French Cattle Farmers are going through

[Farm-sultan]

I read that french farmers losing entire herds due to lumpy skin disease are eligible for government compensation, but it often only covers the market value of the cows. This ignores long-term losses such as future milk production, breeding stock value, and the investment needed to rebuild a herd. The process can also be slow and bureaucratic, leaving farmers struggling to cover daily costs while waiting for payments. Even when the money arrives, it cannot replace decades of labor or the emotional bond farmers have with their animals, which makes the loss deeply traumatic.
