Mixed Breed Bull Sale Monday 9th March 2020
Our first mixed breed bull sale for 2020 took place on Monday the 9th of March with a good entry. Charolais bulls meet good demand and a fair clearance as did the Limousins as these were purchased by Suckler farmers. A handful of Herefords sold and a few Aberdeen Angus but dairy farmers slower to buy due to the weather currently prevailing. Charolais sold to an average of €2,252 and Limousins to an average of €2,147. Charolais ranged from €1,600 to €2,820 and Limousins from €1,520 to €2,600. Hereford bulls ranged from €1,400 to €1,900 and Aberdeen Angus from €1,000 to €1,820.

Ennis Mart Tuesday 10th March 2020
Big sale today with over 1,100 on offer which included 300 calves. The quality in the bull ring was more variable today and the top quality lots were a great trade but lesser lots that bit easier on the week. Heifer trade very strong with a standout price of €1,550 for a 360kg roan coloured heifer. Calves overall a good trade with the exception of a few poor Friesians that made €5 to €25. General run of Friesian bull calves made €40 to €80 with a strong type making €100 to €120. Continental bull calves made to €470. Hereford bulls made to €350. Again suckler stock a great trade and pairs made to €2,620. In-calf lots made to €1,570. More dairy stock today and these made €1,260 to €1,400. Hoggets again a very strong trade and a lot of 8 at 56kgs made €151. Lots generally making €130 to €145. Cull ewes topped out at €160. Ewes with lambs at foot made to €190.

Kilrush General Cattle Sale including calves
All Day
KILRUSH MART
WEDNESDAY 11th March 2020
Big sale in Kilrush today with almost 500 on offer, which included 140 calves. Trade for calves ok but nobody wanted very poor calves or JEX calves at any price. Friesian bull calves made €5 to €80. Whitehead bulls €180 to €350 and heifers made €80 to €180. A strong entry of cull cows again, good numbers of Friesians. A large entry of traditional breeds in the bullock and heifer rings, meet a very steady trade. The continuous bad weather is holding off some men buying stock.
