Cattle prices remain strong despite silage season creating time pressure for farmers

Silage is the name of the game this week and on Monday morning, as I drove along from Kilmichael to Kilmallock, the way seemed to be paved with nothing but cut swards of grass.

I doubt if there is a field remaining in Donoughmore that hasn’t felt the run of a mower over the past few days.

After a surprisingly smooth winter, our summer is following the same line. It has been the perfect year, and it’s no surprise then that prices for livestock in the marts remain as sunny as the sky.
