Store cattle trade remains robust

Marts: The trade for store cattle is continuing very strongly with larger entries reported from several areas as the Autumn seasonal demand gets into swing.

Quality forward store bullocks with premia met a keen demand at marts at Cahir, Ennis, Bandon and Kilkenny, but the trade for heifers has eased.

The quality single- punched store bullocks made up to €340 over €/kg at Cahir Mart, making up to €300 over at Bandon Mart and topping €400 over at Ennis Mart where there was a large entry of 900 cattle yesterday.
