Big sale at Ennis today for the time of year with almost 650 on offer and 200 sheep. A notable feature in the bull weanling ring today was the strength of the bulls on offer. There were a large number of these weighing 420kgs to 520kgs and these were a very good trade with specialised bull finishers in attendance. It must be said there were some super stock amongst these. The weanling heifer trade has eased a bit and back €20/hd on the highs of the last few weeks. More calves about today and Friesian bulls made €55 to €85 and continentals made to €360 for a Charolais heifer calf 12 days old. Pairs in the suckler ring hit €2,300 and in-calf lots hit €1,580 despite being quite a bit away from calving. Again sheep trade very strong with hoggets hitting €136 and averaged €2.58/kg. Cull ewes made €80 to €143.
