Beef prices continue to drive upwards
IFA Livestock chairman Declan Hanrahan said the shortage of beef across all of our key markets is creating the opportunity for further significant price increases.
The strong market demand for beef is continuing to drive the prices at the processing plants upwards, delivering further gains for finishers this week.
Increases of another 5-10c/kg for both steers and heifers are being paid by the factories to get the required intake of stock at the top of the trade this week, with the general run of prices for both categories now above €6/kg in general.
