Good-quality Hereford stores sold on average from €2.00/kg to €2.15/kg, while Angus-crosses ranged from €2.20/kg to €2.30/kg.
The majority of Friesian bullocks on offer fell within a price range of €1.80/kg to €1.90/kg, with some plainer-quality types and lots with poor weight for age below this level.
