# Live cattle prices remain firm, but gains slow at meatpackers

> Brazilian live cattle prices ended the week firm, with scattered increases, as limited availability of finished animals and slaughter schedules of five to six working days kept meatpackers buying. Export sales remained subdued, while China’s purchases were recovering gradually; wholesale hindquarter beef prices in São Paulo rose to R$30 per kilogram.

## Why it matters

Tight cattle availability and short slaughter schedules support live cattle prices, while weak exports and resistance to higher prices are limiting further gains. Improving domestic wholesale beef demand offers some support to packer buying.
