February slaughter was the lowest in 3 years

As had happened in January, slaughter in February fell both month-on-month and year-on-year, registering the lowest level in three years —since February 2022— according to official data published by the Secretariat of Agriculture. In the second month of 2025, 1.025 million head of cattle were processed, a 10.5% drop compared to January (which had already fallen 8.1% from December), and 2.8% below February 2024.
