Kilrush Mart
All Day
Numbers are holding well as is the trade especially for quality lots. Mostly weanlings and cull cows on offer. There were some fancy prices for quality lots driven by framer demand especially in bull weanling ring. The heifer trade was not as lively as the bull trade even though again it was dominated by farmers.

Kilfenora Mart Annual Commercial Shorthorn sale in conjunction with the general sale
All Day
The annual Commercial Shorthorn sale held in conjunction with the general sale in Kilfenora on the Saturday of the bank holiday proved a great success. There was a very good entry of continental heifers also and these were a very good trade. The quality shorthorn heifers made very good money with both sellers and buyers nationwide. Tops of these made to €1,170 with many lots of these weanling heifers making €750 to €910 or up to €5/kg. A couple of top quality bulls in the shorthorn section made €1,450 and €1,530 respectively.

KILFENORA MART
MONDAY 30th OCTOBER
The Monday Bank Holiday weanling sale in Kilfenora proved another great success with over 400 lots going through the ring. It was mostly a yard of top quality continental stock on offer. Trade was supported by farmers and shippers especially in the heifer section. Farmers were the main customers in the bull section. Producers of the top quality lots were well rewarded for their efforts, as seen from below.

Ennis Mart Weanling Bulls & Heifers, Dairy & Suckling Stock, Runners, Calves and Sheep
All Day
ENNIS MART TUESDAY 31st OCTOBER 2017
Numbers holding up strong in all rings but quality is becoming very variable. The quality lots are holding a very strong trade. There is both farmer and shipper activity in the heifer and bull weanling rings at the moment. Again it’s the lighter lots that are attracting the higher price per kg. Runner heifers made from €445 to €915 and runner bulls from €500 to €850. In-calf suckler cows made from €1,000 to €1,810. Very few with calves at foot and these made to €1,675. Hoggets generally made €2/kg to €2.30/kg or to €121. Cull ewes made €65 to €125.
