Export steer prices regained part of the ground lost in recent weeks, particularly in transactions involving slightly longer payment terms. British-breed cross steers, which are considered the highest-quality animals for beef production, moved into a range of AR$/kg 7,800-8,000 carcass, while zebu-cross steers widened the price gap and traded between AR$/kg 7,500-7,800 carcass.
Good-quality cows weakened slightly further, with prices ranging from AR$/kg 6,200-6,500 carcass.
As for the so-called “China cows,” higher-quality manufacturing cows posted some gains while lower-grade canning cows remained unchanged. Overall, prices ranged between AR$/kg 4,800-5,600 carcass.
