On Carnival Tuesday, the traditional weekly auction of the firm Consignaciones Córdoba at the Rural Society of Jesús María, Córdoba, took place.
At that event, observers saw firm livestock prices, in a context that continues to mark the livestock boom in the country, thanks to the conditions that the Javier Milei government has provided to the sector.
Factors such as the weather (rain that leads to better pastures) and the retention of breeding females also explain the price recovery of recent weeks.
