Eastern states cattle slaughter has continued to lift during October, as access to both saleyards and processing plants reportedly improve and in line with the seasonal trend. Last week (ending 21st October), Queensland cattle slaughter was 9% higher than the week prior, at just over 68,900 head – with the female kill up 17%, at 25,000 head. Victorian cattle slaughter was 2% higher week-on-week, at just shy of 19,600 head, while processing in New South Wales was relatively unchanged, at 27,138 head. Additionally, trading activity in the US imported beef market remains reportedly quiet, due to lower domestic US beef prices and reduced overseas supplies. The US 90CL cow beef indicator averaged 203US¢ so far in October – down 25 US¢/lb CIF on the same time last year. -
