Export steer prices remain stable, but industry pressures downward

Prices for British-breed cross steers, of higher beef quality, remained in the range of Ar$ 7,900 to 8,200 per kilo carcass weight, while zebu-cross animals traded between Ar$ 7,800 and 8,000. However, several processors indicated that above Ar$ 8,100 they begin to lose money.
