Saturday’s special weanling bull sale in Carrigallen Mart was very strong. Farmers were extremely active for all good-quality bulls. At the heavier end of weights, feedlots and finishers were actively snapping up heavy bulls, with the best demand for those that would finish in-spec. The top-quality calf was an especially good trade, with some exceptional lots making in excess of €3/kg and a few calves purchased for further showing topping out at €4/kg. We are seeing a big difference in the quality of lots this year, with poorer-quality light calves struggling to hit €2.00/kg, while top-quality calves are hitting €3.00/kg and over.
