Ennis Mart – Cattle Prices – 08-11-2022
According to a spokesperson for Ennis Mart, just over 900 lots changed hands at its most recent cattle sale on Tuesday, November 8th, 2022.
The spokesperson reported that a small entry of suckler stock met an “excellent” trade with in-calf lots to €2,300 and pairs to €2,280.
Runner heifers changed hands for up to €800, and runner bulls made to €1,000. A small entry of calves made to €460 for a one-month-old Charolais-cross bull calf.
According to the spokesperson, quality bulls over 320kgs were a “very solid” trade, but plainer and lighter lots were a “shade” easier.
The spokesperson commented: “In the heifer ring, a similar story and again, the better lots held with, the lesser lots slipping slightly.”
“However, the overall average price at Tuesday’s sale was slightly stronger today than last week.”
