Two Simmental cross heifers weighing 320kg aged nine and 10 months sold for £660/head.
On Thursday 17 June, Craig Wilson Ltd sold 220 store cattle at Ayr Mart. The sale saw a mix of cattle from both the suckler and dairy sectors.
The average price paid for 116 steers was £2.29/kg or £1,009/head. This is below the typical average in Scotland, which has been closer to £2.45/kg in recent weeks, but Ayr Mart would handle the largest proportion of dairy-bred livestock in Scotland, which will affect the trade.
The 88 heifers averaged £2.26/kg or £1,039/head and the 16 pure Friesian steers averaged £2.04/kg or £958/head.
The top price of the day for females was £1,470 for a Limousin heifer off Auchentibbert, Sandhead.
