Third consecutive week of stability in livestock prices

Slaughter livestock prices remained unchanged for the third consecutive week. Plants are maintaining listed prices of US$ 3.50 per kilo for regular steers and US$ 3.20 per kilo carcass weight for fat cows, with bookings mostly scheduled for the first days of July.

However, producers are still somewhat reluctant to accept these prices.

This week, severe frosts were recorded in several areas of Paraguay, a phenomenon that negatively affects tropical and subtropical pastures.
