Irish Beef Quotes Slide Again in Final Week of 2025
Factory Prices Continue to Ease Ahead of Year End
Irish beef factory quotes have continued to weaken in the final full trading week of 2025, extending a downward trend that has gathered pace through December, according to reporting by Agriland. The latest reductions further dent hopes of a late seasonal recovery for finishers heading into year end.
Across the main processors, quotes for steers, heifers and young bulls have eased by a further 5–10c/kg, with some plants applying additional pressure through tighter specifications and increased use of in-spec limits. Despite relatively modest cattle throughput, factories appear under little pressure to compete aggressively for supplies.
