Beef finishers are clinging to the hope that the scale of downturn in the quoted prices from the factories for this week will be shortlived.
A further drop of 10-15 cents/kg in the prices being quoted for both steers and heifers at the plants has increased the downturn in producer returns by between €50 and €70/head conpared to two weeks ago.
