BOGOTA - Colombia's Gaitanista Self-Defense Forces (AGC) crime gang, better know as the Clan del Golfo, wants to hold peace talks with the government but rejects a proposed surrender to end its role in the country's conflict, a lawyer for the group told Reuters on Friday. Colombia's leftist President Gustavo Petro has said a key policy for his administration is to make peace negotiations and potential surrender deals with armed groups to end the six-decade conflict, which has killed at least 450,000 people.

The Consolidated Properties managing director said that in the wake of several major private builders collapsing in the state over the past year, the development fraternity was feeling increased competition, not just with each other, but also with the government ahead of the Olympics.

In 2023, the female slaughter rate (FSR) in the United States is 51.5%, suggesting that the US cattle herd is still destocking. At the same time, overall slaughter in the US is down 28% for the year-to-date, as overall female slaughter has declined at roughly the same rate as bull and steer slaughter. This means that while production in the United States has dropped, it will likely continue falling for the next several years. Parts of the US remain in drought or have not received enough rain to begin repairing pasture, and high cattle prices are incentivising producers to sell cattle to repair balance sheets after several years of relatively low prices.
