Weekly beef supply  tops 35,000 head for the first time in recent years

Any price movement at beef factories is in the right direction, but too little and too slow for farmers to get carried away.

In face, all processors continued to quote this week for steers and heifers at prices unchanged from recent weeks.

The base quote for steers remained at 360-365 cents/kg. But the percentage getting higher end prices is slightly increased, and some are negotiated a reduced penalty for over-age animals.
