# Co-product values fall $50-$100 a head, on flat international demand - Beef Central

> Export traders quoted beef co-product values down $50-$100 per head since May, with declines in edible offal, rendered products like tallow and meatmeal, hides, and pharmaceutical products. Foetal blood has fallen roughly in half from a year earlier amid weak Chinese demand and currency pressure in Japan and Korea.
