Steady Kanturk sales set standard for a week of lively trading across the cattle marts

The last time I was at a fat stock show and sale in Kanturk was way back in 1992. My father was with me on that day and, if memory serves me correctly, we had a nice few scoops in Kanturk before we waved goodbye to the town.
So where has it all gone wrong for me, you might well ask? With me now attending marts with all the sobriety of a Supreme Court Judge.
