Beef cattle processed to mid-May running 6.84% behind the 2020 numbers

Beef market report

Some of the cattle entered at Kenmare Mart last week.

Beef prices at the factories have continued as they were at the end of last week, with processors resisting pressure from finishers for price improvements.

A reduction in prices for cows last week was a warning to beef finishers that processors are watching the cost of intake very closely.
