Markets: Quality animals draw attention of buyers as marts enjoy a flying trade in fine weather

Silage contractor Michael Allen from Enniskeane was a busy man last Thursday afternoon making his first round bales of the season.

And how many bales per acre did Michael get? Well that’s on a need to know basis, and you don’t really need to know. All we need to take from my story on silage making is that the year is moving on and things are hotting up.

And speaking of hotting up, I braved gorse fires and all sorts of smoke and flames to make it back to Kenmare mart last Thursday.
