Moderate increases in slaughter cattle prices

Despite being in the period of the month with the lowest domestic beef consumption, the slaughter cattle market remains firm, with a moderately positive weekly balance. The average price of the finished male in Brazil’s main cattle-producing states rose R$ 3.2 to R$/@ 297.9, based on state-level data from consultancy Scot, free of the Funrural tax and with 30-day payment terms.
