Ennis Weanlings, Calves, Sheep, Runners, Cows & Calves
All Day
Ennis Mart Monday 16th March 2020
Our normal Tuesday sale was held today due to St Patricks Day and it was run operating under the new protocol as advised by the authorities where numbers were limited in all sales rings and numbers kept to approximately 70 people at any time in each ring. Clare Marts appreciates the co-operation of customers in implementing the necessary changes. Trade was very satisfactory all round, with bull weanlings improved but heifer weanlings a shade back from the very high trade of last week. Calves improved today but farmers are realising that calves have to be at least 3 weeks old and well fed. Good trade for dairy stock today making from €1,160 to €1,510. Quality in suckler ring more variable today with pairs making to €1,780. Hoggets back today by €7 to €8 per head. Cull ewes made €55 to €125.

All Day
Ennis Mart Thursday March 19th 2020
Good size sale with over 800 on offer. The sale was held with further restrictions in place today and passed off fine and customers at all sides must be thanked for their co-operation. Trade for bullocks improved on the week, heifer trade similar and cull cows easier in line with the pull in beef quotes for cull cows at the factory. The improvement in the weather meant that there were men anxious for stock.
