Fine size sale today with almost 800 on offer. Calf numbers a bit smaller than expected but great trade all round for these. It’s definitely encouraging to see calves well presented with a good deal of strength in them and this is helping to produce a very good trade. Quality Friesian bull calves making €80 to €135 with lighter lots making €30 to €70. A BB bull calf made €495 at a month old. AA bulls made to €310 and trade similar for Whitehead calves. In-calf suckler stock made to €1,910 today. Pairs topped out at €1,800. The weanlings were a strong trade all round and heifers were especially strong.
