Finishers push for 380 cents/kg in strong beef market

Beef market report

At Macroom Mart last Saturday, seven Hereford steers (21 months old) weighed 520kg and sold for €1,050.

Good things come to those who wait, and beef finishers are in line for some minor
rewards at the factories this week.

They can demand improved prices for their cattle, on the back of strong pre-Christmas market demand for beef.
