Cattle prices: weather and beef price hitting forward stores at Mohill mart
Saturday’s sale at Mohill mart saw a large entry of stock on offer for the annual bullock and heifer sale. While good quality cattle were a good trade, average prices were back slightly.
In terms of demand, the best prices were paid for better-quality heavy cattle suitable for feeding. These sold mainly from €2.00/kg to €2.20/kg and up to €2.60/kg for top-quality types. At the top of the market, prices of up to €2.60/kg were achieved for U grade steers.
There were a number of bullocks over 700kg, but in many cases age was against them, and this was reflected in the prices paid.
Stores from 400kg to 500kg were available in numbers, and demand for these was quite good. They sold mainly from €550 to €650 over the weight depending on quality.
