Beef cattle producers experienced unexpected discounts at the end of last year, but prices have slightly rebounded at the start of the new year. The purchase prices for bulls and heifers in certain classes have increased, with bulls priced at a maximum of PLN 23.10/kg and heifers at PLN 23.00/kg. Prices for live weight bulls and heifers are also slightly higher. However, cows are the worst performers, with post-slaughter settlement values at a maximum of PLN 19.60/kg and live weight sales priced at up to PLN 9.50/kg.
