Thursday 5th September 2024
Big sale of cull cows and heifers today with 645 on offer. Great yard of store heifers available but beef was very scarce. Likewise in the cull cow ring as there was more store cows available, but strong demand for anything with good flesh. Cows over 700kgs a shade dearer, but anything under this weight was a shade easier and back 3-5c/kg. Heifers were easier today, back between 5-10c/kg, with heifers under 400kgs taking the biggest hit. Over 20 aged bulls available and these averaged €2.40/kg, with a CH bull weighing 1,205kgs hitting €2,830.
