Forward stores made up most of the numbers and sold well. There were a few lots of yearlings and off of these outliers sold best.
Hereford and Angus bullocks made €380 to €650 with their weight, while prices for continental bullocks ranged from €450 to €700 over the €/kg. There was solid demand for Frieisans with heavier stores making up to €550 with their weight.

Calves
This week's sale had 1,775 calves on offer. Prices ranged from €65 to €130 for export-type Friesian bull calves. The older Friesian bull calves made up to €250.
The beef calf trade is similar to older stock with buyers willing to pay for quality and keep the hands down for lighter lots.
Beef-sired calves bred from crossbred cows were a similar trade to export-type Friesian bull calves. Traditional beef breed-cross bull calves from Friesian cows sold for between €170 and €400.
Hereford and Angus heifers sold for between €101 and €350. Continentals were small in numbers but as ever met with good demand. Heifers made from €200 to €410, while continental bulls made between €250 and €475/head.
Jersey cross bull calves, lighter Friesians and half-twin heifers sold for between €1 and €50.
Cows
Cow prices ranged from €50 to €520 with their weight.
