Ennis Mart – Cattle Prices – 29-03-2022
According to a spokesperson for Ennis Mart, almost 1,000 cattle crossed the scales on Tuesday, March 29th, 2022.
They noted that dairy stock fetched from €910 to €1,970, while pairs in the sucker ring topped out at €2,050 and in-calf lots climbed to €2,020.
The spokesperson noted that weanling heifers met with an “improved” trade this week and bull weanlings were a “similar” trade to previous weeks.
Furthermore, they added that the sale attracted a “bigger” entry of calves with a mix of Friesian and beef-type calves.
Friesian bull calves ranged from €30 to €185 but, generally, fell into the €30 to €80 price bracket.
Aberdeen Angus calves went under the hammer from €40 to €290 and continental calves made to €505. Finally, Hereford-cross calves climbed from €75 to €365.
