About Us

Clare Marts is a farmer owned co-operative consisting of 2,500 shareholders. Clare Marts Ltd. has 5 centres with Ennis being the flagship and head office of the organisation.  The other centres are Kilrush, Ennistymon, Scariff and Kilfenora. Sales are held weekly in Ennis.  On Tuesdays, weanlings, suckler stock, calves and sheep are on offer while on Thursdays we sell beef and store bullocks and heifers, dry cows and factory bulls, with a Friday sale in the springtime for dairy and sucker cows and some special pedigree and dispersal sales.  Sales in our other centres are seasonal and sale dates can be viewed on our sales diary.

Clare is renowned for the production of top quality weanlings and store cattle, which are produced from a well-established suckler base within the county.  These cattle are deemed very suitable for finishing at heavy carcase weights with customers from all over the country frequenting our sales particularly from the Midlands and Northern Ireland. The general base of the suckler cow herd within the county was of good type stock, however in order to further improve the quality of stock on offer the Society has, over a number of years provided several premia schemes to subsidise the purchase of top quality continental bulls.  These schemes have brought about a further improvement in the quality of stock available at our sales. Approximately 90,000 of these quality animals pass through our centres on an annual basis.

At Clare Marts Limited we provide the following services:

  • Purchase of animals for customers.
  • Transport Arranged
  • Lairage facilities available overnight
  • Trading of Entitlements
  • Land Letting and Sales

TUESDAY 17th JULY 2018

 

A small sale today with numbers down on the previous weeks trade was steady and even improved for heifers. Weanling bull trade held well with trade been driven by shippers and even more shippers present and active this week, farmers were scarce in general, quality was good today in the bull ring. Heifers were a better trade this week with some good quality sorts on offer Suckler cows with calves ranged from €1,020 up to €1,730. Sheep trade was much the same again this week reflecting the current market for lamb and factory quotes decreasing as supply increases. Cull ewes made up to €121. Hogget’s made to €119 for 60kg. Spring lambs made up to €124 for a pen of 7 weighing 54kg. Calf numbers smaller but expected with being so late in the season but trade remained firm.

Ennis Mart, Bullocks, Heifers, Dry Cows and Aged Bulls

ENNIS MART

THURSDAY 12th JULY 2018

Numbers smaller today in the dry cow and heifer rings but bullock numbers holding. Trade similar in cow and heifer ring on the previous weeks. Average grade forward bullocks easier especially these that will not finish under 30 months. The younger store bullock held the trade very well. Less farmers around the bullock ring with grass growth poor this can be expected. A smaller entry of feeder cows and beef cows met a steady demand with trade similar to previous week with feeder cows selling better than more forward types with factory agents not as active. Aged bulls sold to a top price of €1,700 for a Limousin bull weighing 955kgs.
