Very big sale today with over 1,100 head of stock on offer and an increase in calf numbers also. Quite a number of Friesian bull calves again today and these making €55 to €110. Hereford calves made €180 to €315. AA calves made €100 to €315. Continental calves made €195 to €510. More dairy stock today and these made to €1,750. Pairs in the suckler ring made to €2,140 and in-calf lots made to €1,860. The trade in the bull and heifer rings slightly easier but quality was much more variable. The lighter bulls around the 300kg mark were a strong trade, and the top quality heifers.
