    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The beef prices have continued to strengthen this week as the processors engage in a struggle to secure sufficient cattle to fill requirements for the markets, despite the intake now reaching its 2025 peak of almost 33,500 head last week. While weekly intake is running 3,000-5,000 head above these weeks in 2025, market demand for beef has significantly improved and the processors have need for every animal they can get.

    Beef prices firm by up to 15c/kg as factories chase autumn stock (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The beef prices at the factories have hardened this week, driven by demand at the processing plants for extra stock to satisfy market demand, which is very positive for finishers into the Autumn trade.

    Read excerpt

    Although the intake of cattle at the factories has held consistently above 32,000 head/week over the past month, the processing centres remain actively interested in all supplies available to them.

    Stable beef trade continues, gaining a firmer edge (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A stable trade for beef is continuing at the factories, with strong demand for supplies and prices a shade firmer at the upper end of the range this week. Overall, there is more positivity in the trade and processors are showing more confidence in returns from the export markets, with increasing speculation that the ban on imports from Brazil is set to show benefits.

    More bite in lamb trade, but prices remain unchanged (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There is a broad consensus among suppliers that there is “more bite” in the trade this week, but processors are not willing to pay any extra on prices. Quoted factory prices are generally at 770c/kg for lambs, plus the quality bonus worth up to 20c/kg. Some centres had an opening offer for the week at a base of 665c/kg, plus the quality bonus, but are likely to have difficulty getting adequate supplies at the lower price.
