The composition of slaughter clearly shows that a significant portion of industrial activity is carried out with animals coming from feedlots. Operators unanimously agree that the supply of grassfed cattle is minimal; however, slaughter was about 10,000 head higher than in the same week last year, with a significant increase across all categories. INAC reported that in the week ending September 6, 42,924 cattle entered plants, 3,579 more (9%) than the previous week —which had been affected by the August 25 holiday— and 34% higher than the same week last year, when just 31,970 cattle were slaughtered.
