Another increase in export cattle prices on tight supply and strong demand

Once again, limited supply and strong export prospects drove higher prices for export cattle destined for slaughter. Steer values rose another Ar$ 100 per kilo carcass weight, with the best British-cross types moving into a range of Ar$ 8,100 to 8,350 per kilo, while zebu-cross animals climbed to Ar$ 8,000 to 8,200.
