Cattle prices in Turkey surged sharply last week, likely driven by the suspension of sales due to foot-and-mouth outbreaks in several provinces. Last week, cow prices rose by 4,000 Turkish lira (about US$ 100 per head), while calf prices increased by 2,500 Turkish lira (US$ 64). Calves are now quoted at the equivalent of about US$ 1,850, while feeder steers are being paid around US$ 2,600.
