Overview
- Producers began large-scale removals in mid-October as rising Paraná and Uruguay rivers pushed cattle off islands and low fields and forced urgent moves to higher ground.
- Provincial authorities set up a registry for fields, feed and transport and allowed emergency moves to start without prior electronic transit papers, with short deadlines to finalize documentation after arrival.
- Senasa data show Entre Ríos reduced animals in islands and bajos from about 480,000 at the campaign start to fewer than 200,000 after removals, illustrating the scale of the response.
- Evacuation speed is slowed by a shortage of barges, trucks and landing points — some corridors report only one operational boat — and operations rely on coordination with Prefectura, police and animal‑health agencies.
- More than 900,000 head are estimated to be exposed across the Litoral and forecasts that a Super Niño could keep high flows into early 2027 raise the risk of pasture damage, higher feed costs and longer-term pressure on herd management.
