Tullow mart report Friday 6th March 2020

 

Another large sale today in Tullow with over 300 cattle on offer and 200 calves. The cattle trade was hardening a little bit towards market concerns I would however suggest a good lively trade for the lighter stores. The heavier beef cattle today those FR and AA types sold from €1.85 upwards with the good continental bks out to a tops of €2.15 and even some making €2.20 per kg. Very lively trade for the lighter store bks for those quality bks anything from 300kg to 420kg and they sold from €2.40 upwards to €3 per kg one specific lot 9 red LM made 274kg made €800 also 3 red LM bulls 337kg made €885. The beef and forward type hfrs sold from €1.85 for the HE and AA upwards to €2.15 per kg for the beef continentals with the store hfrs equally a lively trade and they sold in the region from €1.90 for the HE and AA upwards with the majority €2.70 for the continental type hfrs with the majority of those LM, CH SI types hfrs selling from €2.20 to €2.50 per kg

 

The cull cows met a good hones trade throughout and they sold from FR cows from €150 with the kg fresh out of the parlour upwards to €800 with the kg for the heavier type cows and we also saw a good lively trade for the calves improved possibly by €10 to €15 per head for the FR shipping calves and they sold from €25 up to €60 per head with the HE and AA hfrs selling from €80 for the lighter calves up to €200 for the three week old HE with HE and AA bulls anything from €120 up to €300. 1 HE bull coming up on 24 days of age made €295. We also had a couple of continental bulls and they sold out to a tops of €350.

A large sale but overall but the trade recognising the situation that we are currently meeting with the coronavirus.
