This July 2019-born SIX heifer weighing 575kg sold for €2,000 (€3.47/kg). Last Thursday's weekly sale in Castlerea Mart, Co Roscommon, saw almost 500 cattle go through the ring, with plenty of demand for factory fit and forward store entries. Weanling bulls and bullocks were a flying trade, with continental bulls in the 350-450kg bracket regularly topping €3/kg. Lighter weanling bulls were generally a good trade, however age was against a lot of bull calves. Bullocks weren’t quite met with the same demand as bulls, but some lighter weanling bullocks averaged €3/kg also. Heavier bullocks above 450kg averaged slightly less at €2.65.
