Tuesday November 19th, 2024
Big sale for this time of year with just short of 700 on offer. Again trade holding exceptionally strong, with shippers very active yet again in the bull ring. A great trade for quality sucklers, with these hitting €3,040 for pairs even without stars. Heifer trade dearer by about 5c/kg on the previous week. Runner heifers hit €850 and runner bulls topped €1,170, as numbers were small in this ring. Bull weanling trade steady on the week but not quite as many farmers around.
