Factories have moved to apply more pressure to the beef trade this week with most dropping quotes by 10c/kg.
Bullocks are working off base prices of €7.00 to €7.10/kg while heifers are being bought at €7.10 to €7.20/kg.
Current indications would suggest that it will bottom out where they are currently, with supplies of finished cattle still tight.
The Irish cattle kill ended 2025 down almost 12% on the previous year with over 90,000 fewer cows killed in 2025.
Irish beef continues to be undercut on price with imports from other countries.
In the 10 months to the end of October 2025, year on year Brazilian beef imports to the UK had increased by 125% to 9,421t.
