90,000 more cattle for beef factories than last year
Intake for last week remained ahead of 30,000 head, with the bridge between the yard cattle and those finished off the grass now well crossed, without any impact on the number of cattle available to the processors, at unchanged prices.
Last week, total slaughterings came to around 30,500 head, broadly similar to the previous several weeks. The steer supply was strong, at around 11,700, and the kill included about 8,000 heifers.
