Ireland’s cumulative beef kill through November 1 was 1,354,429 head, 0.2% above the same point in 2025. Bord Bia’s forecast for the 2026 kill has been revised to about 1.63 million cattle, roughly 30,000 more than last year, while Christmas demand approaches.
A larger projected slaughter supply could weigh on cattle prices if demand does not absorb the extra animals, though seasonal Christmas demand may provide support.
