Based on information provided by representatives of the Irish Ministry of Agriculture, Supply and Marine, it can be said that the rate of slaughter of cattle in the country over the year grew slightly less than seven percent.
In particular, department analysts are notifying that the number of cattle that came from feedlots and slaughtered between August 2018 and August 2019 increased by about twelve and a half thousand heads (a year earlier the number was one hundred eighty thousand, the current figure was one hundred ninety two and a half thousand).
It will not be amiss to note that in the first half of this year, forty-two and a half thousand more cattle were slaughtered on the agricultural slaughter sites of Ireland than in the same period in 2017 (a period that was marked by record levels).
There was an increase of twenty-eight percent (plus one hundred and fifty thousand goals to a record figure).
It should be added that Irish cattle is very popular all over the world - cattle from the "green island" are bought in huge batches by different countries of the world, including the largest importers - Russia and Argentina.
