Processors and farmers agree to try and cut oversupply of young bulls
Meat Industry Ireland (MII) has said it is committed to a constructive approach to the short-term oversupply of young bulls. Some 5,500 bulls were slaughtered last week, compared to 4,000 in previous weeks.
The MII’s goal is for this trend to continue. However, the MII is also urging young bull producers to use the UK buyers’ preference for bulls aged under 16 months as a standing guide for this category of the beef market.
