Spring 2015 stores continue to provide the backbone of the bullock trade. Friesians with good conformation and weight for age were making €1.65/kg to €1.72/kg, with P grade Friesians back on this by a few cent. Overall, they sold from €200 to €400 with their weight. There were Hereford and Angus cross bullocks with excellent weight for age that sold comfortably from €1.90/kg up to €2/kg, with exceptional lots going for more and cattle needing more work going below €1.90/kg. Prices for these ranged from €380 to €550. Continental bullocks were more plentiful than recent sales and sold well, making from €450 to €650 with the €/kg.
