Kilkenny Mart offered 650 cattle at its November 5 sale, down from 1,000 the previous week, and prices fell in several weight categories. The report linked the wider price weakness to lower factory beef offers and the temporary closure of Algeria to Irish weanling exports; lighter bullocks under 400kg averaged €3.70/kg, down €0.35/kg week over week.
Weaker export demand and lower beef-packer bids reduce demand for cattle, weighing on Irish cattle prices. The sharp fall for lighter bullocks points to particular pressure on that segment.
