The downward slide in the beef prices at the factories has continued this week for many of the suppliers whose returns have been cut by up to 10 cents/kg.
There is some variation in the prices being quoted by the processors but the hard sellers and those with larger numbers are engaging in a tug-o-war to some benefit on price before parting with their stock.
