Market conditions for beef should be favourable for the remainder of the year as markets and buying patterns return to normal, according to the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA).
The organisation also pointed to the strong performance of the live export trade to Northern Ireland for store and finished cattle, which is expected to continue into the back end of the year.
