Breeding cattle

Breeding cattle prices depend heavily on pedigree, breed, age and performance records, so they are not in the table. Guide figures from recent weeks’ deals:

  • Breeding heifers (12–18 months): €1,400–2,200 per head
  • Breeding cows (up to 5 years): €1,600–2,600 per head
  • Pedigree breeding bulls: €2,500–4,500 per head

The final price is agreed between the parties, for the particular animals and their papers.
