- Bullocks €4.16/kg* mean of bands
- Heifers €4.16/kg* mean of bands

Fine turnout today for the show & sale in Kilrush. All forward type cattle available with very few light stock today. While it was all forward cattle, beef was very scarce with a lot of stock still requiring up to 2 months feeding. Some lovely quality continental heifers on offer through the sale. Great demand for forward stock in all rings.
