Beef trade holds firm as producers stand their ground

Farm conditions are superb and the fresh growth of grass is the perfect balance to keeping producers and their stock in a happy mode

The trade for beef animals at the factories continues firm this week with neither the processors nor their suppliers willing to concede on their ground.

The beautiful September weather which the country has been continuing to enjoy since the beginning of the month is proving a bonus for the producers in several ways, and their hope is that it will continue in their favour.
