Reopening of US beef trade helps create market buoyancy, but old concerns persist

We are certainly going through some hardy mornings at the moment. Mornings where a shot of ‘easy start’ wouldn’t go astray, writes Denis Lehane. 

My old tractor could certainly have done with a spray this morning as she sluggishly came to life and indeed, if a human form of the stuff was to come onto the market, I would wholeheartedly welcome it.

Anyway, I went to Kanturk mart on Tuesday morning and while it wasn’t as cold a day as the previous two or three, it wasn’t a day for the Bermudas and flip flops either.
