Strong sheepmeat prices continue in Europe. \ Houston Green Global prices remain steady this week for both beef and sheepmeat, with Irish beef prices being one of the more notable movers up to €4.04/kg for R3 steers. This is significantly ahead of the EU average of €3.77/kg for R3 young bulls, but dramatically behind Britain, where average R3 prices have steadied at €4.72/kg equivalent. The Northern Irish price of €4.48/kg is now noticeably behind the price in Britain, though well ahead of the Irish price. In global markets, Brazil is a contradiction, because while prices have eased slightly in their own currency, because the real has increased in value against the euro, it means their price has increased to €3.15/kg when converted.
