Improved trade for quality cattle

Marts: There was good demand at steady or improved prices for both forward quality bullocks over 500kg and good stores, while plain cattle were back up to €20/head at yesterday’s mart sales.

Numbers of cattle on offer at the marts was about similar to last week and overall demand continues strong with full clearances at all sales.

At a similar size sale to last week at Bandon Mart, demand was well maintained for quality bullocks in particular with prices showing a slight improvement.
