Calf numbers almost doubled in Bandon Mart, with 600 calves on offer on Monday. There was plenty of bite in prices, especially for beef-cross calves. Manager Tom McCarthy reminded farmers to make sure calves are between 20 and 25 days old for shipping, with these calves generally selling from €80 to €110 on the day. Overall, Friesian bull calves made from €65 to €140 for younger calves, with stronger lots making up to €220. Hereford and Angus bulls made from €220 to €380, with heifer calves selling from €180 to €310. Continental heifers sold from €300 to €450 and continental bulls made from €360 to €460.
There was a special section for Friesian heifer calves and these made between €240 and €300. Jersey-cross bull calves sold from €20 to €50. There were 80 cows on offer and they made from €50 under to €490 over the weight.
Cow numbers remained steady, as did prices, with the majority of Friesian cows selling for in or around the €200 with their weight mark, with heavier cows or continentals selling for more. The heavy rain on Monday morning had an effect on the number of younger cattle for sale, with smaller entries of bullocks and heifers on the day. Bullocks made from €200 to €620 over the weight. Commission rates for adult cattle are seller pays 1.5% with a minimum of €9.50/head; buyer €9/head.
