Hereford and Angus favoured by processors in improved beef trade

Beef market report

At Dowra mart in Co Cavan Saturday, this 495kg store heifer sold for €1,500.

Strong market demand for beef continues to drive the trade for cattle at factories this week, with prices rising gradually.

While some finishers say an extra 5 cents/kg is available for both steers and heifers this week, the general consensus is more muted.
