Factory prices not reflecting 'stark reality' facing farmers finishing cattle this winter
Farmers are struggling to "see any justification" for feeding cattle over the winter as they see prices being "slashed" again this week.
Current factory prices "in no way reflect the stark reality" facing farmers trying to finish cattle over the winter, according to the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers' Association.
The association's beef chairman Edmund Graham has said that winter finishers have "received no support whatsoever, not from Government and certainly not from processors".
