Cattle marts report: Cattle trade back to being an ‘adult only’ business as scholars return to their desks

There is a real sense of getting down to business at the marts this week. With the schools reopening after the Easter break, cattle marts are back to an adult-only audience.

And with the children gone and grass starting to grow, the cheque books are finally coming out.

I went to Bandon mart on Monday, and starting with a look at the calves, the trade here remains strong.
