Ennis Mart Cows, Heifers & Aged Bulls
All Day
Ennis Mart
Thursday October 19th, 2023
Good size sale of cull cows, heifers and a large entry of aged bulls. Cow numbers up as expected and more dairy types in today’s sale. Heifers numbers that bit easier, with trade for the quality stock in both rings holding strong but plainer and lesser lots that bit easier across the board. Some stock are showing the effects of the weather, where no feeding is being given. The 27 aged bulls on offer averaged €1.99/kg, with a top call of €2,560 for a CH bull weighing 1,205kgs.

All Day
Ennis Mart
Friday October 20th 2023
Fine size sale of bullocks again today with 663 on offer. Trade holding especially for the quality stock both in stores and forward cattle, but plainer cattle in all categories getting easier. Quite a number of the stronger cattle were backward and required a lot of feeding. The good quality store in the 420kg to 500kg bracket were very dear. The more forward cattle a strong trade.
