Marts Report: Buyers return to the ringside

Latest prices from marts in Kanturk, Bandon, Macroom, Kilmallock and Ennis

A Belgian Blue weanling bull (10 months old) weighing 430kg that sold at Macroom Mart on Saturday for €1,150.

This week saw the marts return to some class of normality, with a small quota of buyers now allowed into the mart to buy cattle at the ringside.

With no panic selling this week, with numbers of cattle on offer remaining relatively the same and prices more or less remaining where they were, clearly the selling of cattle online has worked out well from a business point of view.
