Suppliers of both steers and heifers have seen factory prices increase five cents/kg for this week's kill as the processors stock up for the pre-Christmas trade.
As the popular advertising slogan says "every little helps" the increase of €15-€20/head on the prime beef animals will strengthen further the return to suppliers this week, many of whom are describing it as "hard got".
