There was a good entry of sheep on offer, but the cattle side was a little smaller given it was the last one of the year. The trade was said to be very strong once again on the cattle side, with very few going unsold.
In the cull cow section, there were a good number of Friesian cull cows on offer. The trade for these was quite strong once again, with plenty of buyers present and actively bidding.
Warm cull cows carrying some flesh were a strong trade and sold mainly from €1.20/kg to €1.30/kg or from €120 to €200 along with the weight.

There were a share of plainer thinner Friesian cows on offer also, which sold mainly from €1.00/kg to €1.10/kg. Continental cull cows were a very strong trade once again and made from €1.60/kg to €1.80/kg for better fleshed types.
The store cattle trade finished strong, with good-quality continentals a very strong trade, but the numbers of these on offer were quite low.
All cattle over 500kg were met with the best demand, while plainer types around 400kg or less and dairy-crosses were a variable trade, but there were buyers for all types.
