    Calf prices in Kanturk today exceptionally good for strong calves...really looks like guys are getting more for their milk by finishing out the calves...don't spare it..

    Near weaned fr bulls making 220 to 350....exceptional.
    Weak fr from 110

    Aa bulls and heifers easily to 350..

    Her bulls high 300's

    Very good calves today. ..

    Not anymore anyways, there will be no turn in these types of cattle if prices stay where they are for the next year or two.
