Processors concede another 5 cents/kg to beef finishers

Beef market report

This 2014-born Belgian Blue cow weighing 855kgs sold for €2,790 (€3.26/kg) at Ennis Mart last week.

We are approaching the time of the year when beef processors usually have to work a bit harder to get sufficient supply through the gates to meet market requirements.

That means it is also the season when beef finishers are in the strongest position to negotiate on price, before parting with the livestock.
