Strong demand delivers an early Christmas bonus for finishers
The base for steers is ranging 485-490 cents/kg in general, with up to 495 cents/kg being paid in some deals.
Strong demand for finished heifers at the factories is delivering an early Christmas bonus for the producers with stock ready to supply this week.
Hitting a €5/kg base price is indicative of the markets for beef and the increased pressure on the processors to source sufficient stock to fill their orders as the competition between the factories drives the prices upwards.
