Another 5c per kilo added to beef prices in the past week
The base for the well-fleshed quality cows has now gone over €7/kg and suppliers are reporting deals for the good R grade cows are being made at up to 690 cents/kg, while the R grade young bulls are ranging over 700 cents/kg.
The beef prices at the factories have continued to increase this week as the unprecedented upward trend since autumn 2024 is maintained to deliver for producers.
Another 5-8 cents/kg has been added to the prices at the processors for most of the main categories, in a continuation of the all-time record return to finishers pattern which has taken everyone by surprise.
