Jersey: €1,280.
On Monday (January 11), the mart hosted its second sale of the new year, with the return of its weekly cattle sale. The sale consisted of bullocks, heifers and dry cows.
Speaking on the numbers entered and trade, Martin stated: “Numbers were back on this time last year but they were met with a strong trade.
“Due to Covid-19 restrictions, and to prevent gatherings, we opted to move our calf sale to a Wednesday.”
