The calf weighing 100 to 150 kilograms (220 to 330 pounds), which producers purchase to fatten and later sell, dropped by 10% compared to the previous week and was paid at $3,700 per live kilogram. Seven days earlier, its value was $4,100 per kilogram.
Meanwhile, the young steer weighing 300 to 350 kilograms (660 to 770 pounds), the livestock for consumption, increased by 0.6%, from $3,360 to $3,380 per kilogram.
