Cattle

Factories must stop their unjustified cattle price cuts and Agriculture Minister Michael Creed needs to call them to halt on this undermining of the market. The Minister has worked hard on market access for the factories, most recently opening the Qatari market, and he cannot allow the factories throw all this back in his face with unjustified price cuts.

The reality is the beef market demand remains strong, especially around the manufacturing trade and in our main export market, the UK. Factories cannot continue to exploit their suppliers.
