Smaller size sale today with 464 on offer. Again a lot of forward type bullocks but beef cattle supply was limited. In the bullock ring there was a 50:50 split between dairy crosses and continentals. Bullocks over 600kgs were a similar trade to last week, with bullocks under this weight easier by 10-15c/kg. It was a similar story in the heifer ring with heavier heifers the best sellers, as stores were back by 15c/kg. Just short of 100 cows on offer with more of a mix of dairy cows through today’s sale. Some good quality cows available and these made between €3.60-3.80/kg, with lighter cows an easier trade. Cull bulls averaged €3.50/kg as a CH bull weighing 1,200kgs made €4,720 and a LM bull weighing 940kgs made €3,500.
