Figures from Argentina show cattle slaughter of almost 10.2 million head in the first nine months of 2025.

This is a fall of 0.6% compared to the same period in 2024.

Over the course of this decade so far, September has consistently been the month in which Argentina’s cattle slaughter has gone about the 10 million head threshold, although the figure was lower in 2021.

Our usual Friday report on cattle slaughter in the US is still unavailable owing to the government shutdown there.
