Weakness for fat male

With some packers out of the market, increased supply, and sluggish beef sales, prices for fat male and heifers dropped R$ 3.00 early this week, while cow prices remained unchanged, according to Scot. Nationally, the fat male closed last week at R$/@ 291.2, down 2.5% from the previous week. As pasture conditions deteriorate, ranchers have accelerated herd liquidation. Combined with slow demand and limited deals during the week, wholesale bone-in beef prices fell across all categories.
