Good recovery in supply to factories

Marts: A strong improvement in the prices being paid by processors for cattle has brought about a good recovery in the supply to the factories.

The intake increased by 5,500 head last week to over 35,000 head following an increase of 5c/kg (1.6p/lb), which brought the average paid for R4L bullocks to 104.4p/lb, while the average paid for R4L heifers increased to 105.3p/lb.

This average does not included returns from price leader Donegal Meats.
