Saturday’s sale at Balla Mart saw another large entry of almost 1,000 cattle on offer. The trade was quite strong, and prices were a touch higher than last week for better-quality cattle.
The trade has held firm where cattle quality is good. However, in some areas, increased supplies of Friesian, Angus and Hereford cattle are having a negative effect.
