Good trade for quality cattle

Marts: There was a mixed trade for cattle in the marts yesterday where some of the gains made by forward cattle last week were not maintained, while quality continued very much in demand and in the South there was an improved trade for plain cattle.
Good trade for quality cattle

Numbers at yesterday’s sales continued seasonally strong for the end of June and there was no shortage of buyers with an active farmer trade for medium to heavy stores at prices which edged up to €420 over €/kg.

The trade for bullocks at Bandon Mart was “very strong” with quality much in demand, but Friesians also met with improved trade. The heavy bullocks ranged €200-€370 over €/kg with lighter lots a shade easier at €180-€340 over. Friesian bullocks made €100-€180 over €/kg. There was also a very brisk trade for heifers ranging up to €300 over, with Hereford and Angus at €120-€200 over.
