'Dream' beef price exceeded for both steers and heifers
Storm Éowyn resulted in most factories having to defer slaughtering on Friday due to the travelling difficulties for both their staff and suppliers of stock, but some did operate on Saturday to complete the week.
The pressure on beef processors to source sufficient stock to meet their requirements is continuing to drive the prices upwards, with further gains for suppliers this week.
Most of the factories have increased prices for steers and heifers by a further 5c/kg as intense competition between the processors for finished stock continues to drive the trade forward.
