Aberdeen Angus
Flat prices of as high as €8/kg have been obtained for continental and Aberdeen Angus cattle this week with a huge number of finished cattle now being purchased on a flat-rate basis.
Cows have also seen rises with €7.30/kg now being quoted for U-grading cows and P+3 cows moving up to €6.60-€6.70/kg.
A shortage in supply of finished cattle has also seen prices jump north of the border with £6.65/kg (€8.32/kg including VAT) now on the table for in-spec stock.
The increase in beef quotes has also driven the mart trade with prices for heavy bullocks up 20-30c/kg this week.
