“More dairy stock again, and these made €1,420 to €2,100. Again, some great pairs in the suckler ring and these made to €2,200. In-calf made to €1,510. “

“Quite a number of autumn-born weanlings again, and it seems to be very early for these to be appearing. Trade for the plainer lots of heifers was a bit easier, but the quality lots were still a great trade,” the spokesperson added.
