Kill numbers dropped off last week, with over 1,000 fewer bulls killed compared to the week before. The UK market levelled out this week after a number of weeks of consecutive gains. It still remains over €1/kg ahead of the Irish price. Factories continue to be very active in marts buying almost fit cattle for next day kill in many instances.
Certified Irish Angus has announced a 30c/kg off season bonus for its members for cattle slaughtered between 24 March and 30 May 2025. The bonus will be paid in addition to the in-spec QA bonus of 20c/kg.
The Irish Hereford Prime beef producer group has also confirmed an official bonus of 25c/kg for the spring / summer 2025 off-season bonus and will be available on cattle slaughtered from the 24 March 2025 to the 23 May 2025.
