All Day
Ennis Mart Tuesday 22nd October 2019
Numbers back quite a bit today with 800 on offer. Quality is very variable at the moment but the good quality lots are still holding a very good trade. Heifer trade improved today by €20 to €30 in most cases as a few more farmers about in this ring. Bit more activity from the shippers in the bull ring but these are also quite price conscious and they’re back €50 on what they were spending a month ago. Runner numbers back today also as it seems farmers are holding some stock in anticipation of a price rise. Runner heifers made to €660 and bulls to €840. In-calf suckler stock made to €1,500. Bulls over 420kgs a tough trade. A small entry of calves meet a serious trade with an Angus Bull 12 days old making €250 and a Charolais calf hit €550. Sheep trade a shade sharper with more wholesale activity and sheep generally making €2/kg. Cull ewes made €84 to €110.

KILRUSH MART
WEDNESDAY 23rd October 2019
Very good mix of stock in Kilrush today with a strong entry of weanlings and these were mostly Continentals. The cull cows on offer were predominantly Friesian cows, many of which were purchased in the Springtime to cover the 7th month retention period. The bullocks and aged heifers were all traditional breeds. Trade was reasonable all round.
