Castlerea Mart Market Report Re Sale June 22

430 cattle on offer this week with smaller numbers presented this week as farmers availed of the ideal hay and silage making weather conditions.

Trade remained firm for most classes of stock on offer, top quality lots were a very good trade while the plainer type lots tended to be a little easier. Store heifers and weanling heifers attracted most attention with the top quality lots recording some fancy prices, while the bullocks and weanlings bulls reported similar prices to last week.
