Last Friday’s sale at Drumshambo Mart saw another strong trade for all weanlings. There was good farmer demand and some northern activity too, which helped keep a firm trade under all good quality types.
Weanling bulls were said to be a firm trade and average-quality bulls sold mainly from €500 to €550 along with the weight or from €2.40/kg to €2.60/kg for those between 300kg and 400kg.
Lighter bulls from 200kg to 300kg were met with strong demand also, with the majority making well over €3.00/kg and over €500 along with the weight.

Store bullocks from 400kg to 500kg made from €975 to €1,070, with quality a factor determining price. There was a share of plainer types on offer also, but there were plenty of buyers present for them.
The heifer trade on the day was similar to the previous week, with farmers and some northern buyers active.
Heifers from 300kg to 400kg sold mainly from €2.40/kg to €2.60/kg, with a good share of heifers selling for €500 to €550 over the weight. Lighter heifers made the most in terms of price per kilo, but farmers paid over €500 along with the weight for heavier types also. Commission rates are 2% to the seller and €9 to the buyer.
