Good size sale again today with over 800 cattle on offer, which included 125 calves, that were all sold. Calf trade was good today, as there was a lot of strong calves available up to 2 months old. AAX calves made from €85 to €390 & HEX calves made from €95 to €465. Continental calves made to €550.
