There were 80 cows on offer, with a good mix of well-fleshed and parlour cows. Younger cows, especially those carrying a bit extra flesh, were particularly sought after – selling for up to €1.42/kg. Heavier suckler cows in good condition were making from €1.50/kg up to €1.68/kg, while older sucklers or those in need of extra feeding were in the €1.20 /kg to €1.30/kg range. Overall, cow prices ranged from €100 under, up to €555 over the €/kg.
Sample prices:
One Friesian 690kg – €960, €1.39/kg.

Bullocks
The bullock supply was limited, as is to be expected for a January sale. Spring 2015-born Angus and Hereford crosses sold for anywhere from €1.90/kg up to €2.01/kg, while a few cent more per kilo could be got for 2016-born stock.
Sample prices:
Two Angus, 472kg – €950, €2.01/kg.
Two Angus 475kg – €940, €1.98/kg.
Four Hereford 531kg – €1,010, €1.90/kg.
One Hereford 400kg – €800, €2/kg.
One Belgian blue 475kg – €1,000, €2.41/kg.
Weanling bulls
Younger stock was scarcer in number in comparison to cows, but sold very well. The current mild spell of weather and plentiful supply of grass saw outliers very much in demand.
