In-calf lots in this ring made to €2,780. A selection of dairy stock today made from €860 to €1,770 with good demand for strong heifers. Good increase in calf numbers with 80 on offer. Again strong calves were a fine trade with FR bulls making €30 to €135. AA calves made €80 to €380 and HEX calves made €110 to €350, as continental calves topped out at €600.
