Although bull throughput has reduced, factories are offering prices of €3.50/kg to €3.55/kg for U grades while prices paid for R grades are €3.45/kg to €3.50/kg excluding bonuses. Steer prices are running at €3.60/kg while heifers are making €3.70/kg. While some larger-scale finishers are getting 5c/kg higher base prices, some plants are moving to reduce base quotes by 5c/kg later in the week for smaller-scale finishers.
