Threats of cuts to beef prices on the horizon
On the price front, there is some variation in the quotes, depending on the supply versus demand at the particular factory.
"'Tis steady this week, if you are lucky," is the word from the farmers contacting the factories with finished cattle ready to sell this week.
Elaborating, one contact summed up the trade by adding: "They are threatening to pull the prices again by telling us that the markets have toughened, but they are still very interested in getting the cattle".
