There is nothing other than positive news on the beef front these last few weeks and the finishers in a position to sell are 'making hay while the sun shines'.
Overall the prices at the factories have strengthened by a further 5-10cents/kg this week with demand for cattle at the processors driving the trade as the supply continues in the deficit zone relative to the need to meet the market requirements.
