Congratulations to the Spillane Family and to all involved on another super headline success.
There was 100% clearance of females with a top price of €3,200. The in-calf heifers averaged €2,534 gns and the 2021 calves averaged €1,525 gns. With 5 – 2021 bull calves selling for an average of €1,733 gns.
