Irish Beef Quotes Hold Steady as Market Stability Continues
Irish Beef Factory Quotes Remain Unchanged
Irish beef factory quotes remain largely unchanged this week, signalling continued short-term stability in the trade despite ongoing supply pressures.
According to reporting by Agriland, base quotes for steers are holding around €7.00/kg to €7.10/kg, with heifers generally starting from €7.10/kg to €7.20/kg. Cow prices also remain steady, depending on grade and specification.
The stability follows a period of tighter cattle supplies, with weekly kill numbers remaining subdued compared to previous years. While throughput is lower, processors appear to be maintaining quotes rather than pushing for further reductions.
Industry observers note that the balance between limited cattle availability and cautious retail demand is currently keeping the market relatively flat. Export performance and UK price comparisons will continue to influence pricing direction in the weeks ahead.
