In the past few days the mart trade around the country has been strong, driven by grass buyers sourcing cattle for grass. Saturday's sale in Balla mar, Co Mayot saw another strong trade for all good quality cattle. Some plainer types continue to be a slower trade.

Bullocks from 400kg to 500kg were said to be a steady trade and made from €600 to €700 along with the weight.
Demand for heifers was up on the day, as were prices, but only of good quality types.
