The regional agriculture authority for Occitanie reports that beef cattle slaughter volumes fell 2.7% in the first nine months of 2026 versus 2025, with cow, heifer and veal volumes all down. Prices for cows and veal calves remain at high levels, with the Grand Sud cow price at 7.4 €/kg in week 44.
Limited cow supply and firm prices point to a tight beef cattle market in southern France, supporting cattle values; the effect on feed demand is modest because the report concerns cattle numbers rather than feed inputs.
