Beef prices at the factories have been dealt another blow this week, one of the heaviest for the season so far, with a cut in prices across the range.
Not a lot has changed in the world markets or in the supermarkets for beef since last week, but suppliers to the factories are taking home €400 to €600 less on a load of finished animals supplied to the processors compared to a week ago.
