Steady trade in cattle, it’s business as usual down at the marts as BSE scares subside

After the recent BSE scare, I figured this week there was really only one way of finding out how the marts were coping, and that was to take a few cattle to the mart myself.

So last Monday morning, purely in the interests of good accurate mart reporting, I got Michael Crowley to haul seven bullocks to Bandon mart.

Honestly, you would have to ask yourself, is there any other mart reporter in the country who would go to such lengths, to bring you the most precise report possible? I think it’s fair to say that I’m outstanding really.
