The IFA’s National Livestock Chairperson is calling on beef prices to be reflective of improving market conditions and tightening of supplies.


Brendan Golden believes beef farmers have been operating well below the breakeven price projected by Teagasc for the year to-date, losing over €100m for the first 6 months of the year, a situation compounded by the cuts of over 30c/kg in the past month to beef prices by factories.


Brendan Golden has labelled the low costs from the marketplace as “unacceptable”.
