爱尔兰牛价格分裂:幼崽上升,重牛倒下,养殖贸易停止,威胁到农业可持续性。 Irish cattle prices split: light calves rose, heavy cattle fell, breeding trade halted, threatening farm sustainability.

爱尔兰牛的价格在最近几周出现差异,较轻的牲畜存量在500公斤以下,涨至4.56-4.83欧元/公斤,而较重的牲畜超过500公斤,由于工厂停滞不前,需求减少。 Irish cattle prices diverged in recent weeks, with lighter stock under 500kg rising to €4.56–4.83/kg, while heavier cattle over 500kg saw weaker demand due to factory stagnation. Cull奶牛现在的价格接近主要牛的价格,这是出乎意料的。 Cull cows now fetch prices near those of prime cattle, defying expectations. 畜牧业跨界贸易被中止,中断了春季销售和展示,损害了遗传多样性和农场可持续性。 Cross-border trade for breeding stock was suspended, disrupting spring sales and shows, harming genetic diversity and farm sustainability. 北方爱尔兰买家通常购买多达30%的股票,但被排除在外,引起对政府无所作为的批评。 Northern Irish buyers, typically purchasing up to 30% of stock, are excluded, sparking criticism over government inaction. 这些问题加剧了目前的挑战,包括屠宰数量停滞不前和利润率下降,使人们对该部门的长期可行性感到关切。 These issues compound ongoing challenges, including stagnant slaughter volumes and declining margins, raising concerns about the sector’s long-term viability.
