• Bullocks €3.77/kg* mean of bands
• Heifers €3.58/kg mart average

A slightly smaller sale to day in Kilkenny compared to last week but trade especially for the beef and forward stores was sticky due to two LW Last Week factors. Grass is scarce due to the prolonged dry spell and today we had at least 220 bullocks on offer in excess of 600 kilo.
