Calf numbers are steadily increasing in Bandon Mart, with the 1,000 calf mark expected within the next fortnight. This week’s sale saw 700 calves go through the ring. Trade carried on where it left off for beef-cross calves, but the news that bad weather will affect ferry sailings this week hit export calf prices hardest. Across all types of calves, those in the three- to four-week age bracket sold best.
