This continued May’s trend and had select cuts 4.5 per cent cheaper last month, on average.

Compared to April, the average beef price was 3 per cent lower with carcasses at $6.30 reals per kilo.

This is causing problems for packers and wholesalers who are monitoring the pace of cattle through the production system to predict short term supply dynamics.
