Cattle marts report: Olympics puts mart traders in mood for speed, with plenty of prizes up for grabs

In Bandon mart on Monday, a bit like sprinter Usian Bolt in Rio, I didn’t feel the need to hang around for too long.

I saw enough in the limited time I was there to know the score. The tempo was up and the trade, similar to Bolt, had good strong legs under it.

The cattle on show in Bandon mart on Monday are now showing all the signs of a good summer.
