Cattle prices remain level but supplies decrease

Cattle prices have continued steady but firm at factories this week, while the intake has eased slightly but remained relatively high for March.

Any change in the prices on offer from processors has come in the form of improvement at the lower end of the price range where the processors are finding it harder to source stock.

Base prices being quoted for steers range within a tighter band this week at 420-425 cents/kg (150p-152p/lb).
