Export steer prices climb another step

Export steer prices recorded another upward adjustment, with an increase of around Ar$ 50 per kilo carcass weight. Crossbred steers of British breeds with better quality now range between Ar$ 5,150 and 5,300 per kilo, while steers with zebu crosses are priced between Ar$ 5,000 and 5,100.

High-quality cows saw an even larger jump of Ar$ 200, moving into the Ar$ 4,200–4,400 range. Meanwhile, cows destined for canning and manufacturing – the so-called “China cows” – increased at the lower end of the range and are now trading between Ar$ 3,100 and 3,400.
