Bigger than expected sale today especially in the calf ring. Stronger calves being shown and demand is good for these and AAX made €105 to €360. Continentals made to €550. HEX calves made €170 to €245. A few FR bulls available and made €40 to €85. Only a handful of suckler stock available today and these made to €1,740.

Good size sale today with 575 cattle on offer. Some great cull cows available again today and a good mix of dairy & continental culls.

The heifer trade was maintained but the bullocks between 500-650kgs were a small bit easier on the week. A large entry of aged bulls averaged €2.23/kg, with a CH bull weighing 1,000kgs making €2,340.
