Weanling sales shows begin well
Record prices of up to €1,300 over €/kg were paid for quality weanling heifers — bulls sold for up to €1,154 over — at the first major show and sale of the season held at Ennis Mart. R grade bulls ranged €1.80 — €2/kg, U grade up to €3.50/kg.
A breeding scheme promoted by Clare Marts in the county nearly a decade ago has boosted the production of quality weanlings in the young stock rearing region which has now become noted for standard of weanlings being bred in the area.
