Stable cattle prices, with slight drop in top-tier steers

Cattle prices for export remained mostly steady, except for a slight drop in the top prices paid for British-breed crossbred steers, which fell by Ar$ 50/kg carcass. That category is now quoted at Ar$ 5,000–5,100/kg carcass, while Zebu-crosses are still trading at Ar$ 4,800–5,000/kg carcass.

Cow prices were also stable. Good-quality cows are quoted between Ar$ 4,000–4,150/kg carcass, and so-called “China cows” (canner and cutter grades) remain in the Ar$ 3,000–3,300/kg range.
