Beef
Irish beef prices are being facilitated by trends in key export markets including the UK and Northern Ireland, the IFA has said.
The average UK cattle price continued its upward trajectory during the week ending September 24, the AHDB has announced.
UK beef prices continued to climb last week as prime cattle prices increased by 1p/kg compared to the week before.
UK and Irish farmers received a similar price for R3 heifers last week, recent figures from the European Commission show.
Cattle which meet the tight supermarket specifications have been consistently better received on the UK market during the month of March.
