Tuesday 20th August 2024
Our annual weanling show & sale was held today, with some super stock on offer. Shippers and farmers battled it out in the bull ring, as shippers bought 42% of these. Bulls were 30c/kg dearer than the same day last year and weights were up 8 kgs on average. Heifers were a similar weight and up 20c/kg on last years sale. The stock on offer were a credit to the farmers producing them. Small entry of sucklers stock met a fine trade and made to €2,490. In the organic section heifers were a stronger trade but the quality of bulls was mixed.
