No pre-Christmas cheer for beef finishers as processors cut prices

Beef market report

At Macroom Mart last Saturday, this Charolais weanling bull born February 2020, weighed 305kg and sold for €680.

Change in beef prices for prime cattle at factories this week went in the wrong direction from the point of view of finishers.

Within the next fortnight, the cattle to supply the Christmas market will be in the factories.
