SHANNONSIDE SHORTHORN BREEDERS CLUB SALE
The annual Shannonside Shorthorn Society Sale of pedigree pure bred shorthorns was held on Saturday last, and a very good trade was the order of the day. The in-calf heifers proved a great trade and made €1,300 to €3,650 with over a third of the lots in this section going over €2,000. The bulls were a tough trade with the exception of a few lots. The year-old half maiden heifers were a strong trade and made to €2,500 but generally in the €1,300 to €1,600 bracket. The weanling heifers proved very popular, and these reached a high of €2,700 with many of the quality lots exceeding the €1,000 mark.
