For the first time in 60 years, cattle will be absent from Paris's International Agricultural Show, taking place next month, thanks to an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatosis, also known as lumpy skin disease – meaning the show's planned star attraction, Biguine, a prized Brahman cow from Martinique, will not be appearing.
Biguine arrived by boat several months ago from the French Caribbean island territory to Franche-Comté, in eastern France.
