Increased northern activity
Commenting on the trade at yesterday’s sale in Ballyjamesduff Mart, Tevlin noted: “The trade has picked up well and there’s more northern activity.
Beef and store prices have moved on in the north and it was like old times with the enquiries from the north looking for cattle this week.
“There is a lot of cattle going north this week – both forward stores and breeding stock,” he noted.
Concluding, he added: “There was a large entry of stock for this time of the year and a good clearance of all lots.”
