Chinese cows regain ground

Despite abnormal conditions caused by heavy rainfall over the weekend — which prompted early cattle movements in some areas and prevented it in others — export cattle prices overall remained mostly steady.

Top-quality steers, British crossbreds, were quoted at around Ar$ 5,000–5,150, while zebu crosses remained in the Ar$/kg 4,800–5,000 carcass range.

Good cows continued trading around Ar$/kg 4,000–4,200, but “Chinese cows” — which had previously dropped — recovered by Ar$ 100 and moved into the Ar$/kg 3,100–3,400 carcass range.
