Flying trade at big mart sales

Marts: There was a strong export trade for quality young stores, which sent prices soaring for the tops of the suitable lots on offer at the mart sales yesterday where numbers of cattle on offer reached record levels.

Kanturk Mart recorded its biggest ever sale of cattle, which went on until after 7pm with “outstanding demand” for all types of cattle.

Selling was still in progress at Fermoy Mart after 7pm, with an improved trade for a big entry of cattle, while Ennis Mart also had a big entry of stock yesterday.
