Cattle markets: Excellent spring sales and healthy bidding help put traders in mood for romance

Last Friday, in a last desperate bid to find a suitable Valentine’s Day present for my wife, I went to Skibbereen mart in the hope of securing that perfect gift.

And sure enough, I spotted a nice pen of calves of the Norwegian Red variety, a gift of calves I felt would do the trick nicely.

The Norwegian Red are a beautiful looking animal and because of their exquisite colouring and placid nature, many women I’m sure would be very fond of them.
