Marts Report: Online sales are here to stay

At the Lee Valley Aberdeen Angus clearance sale in Macroom mart last Saturday, this five-years-old in-calf cow sold for €2,250.

Pat O'Sullivan from Crossmahon, Lissarda was an easy man to talk to on Saturday after the sale of his Lee Valley Aberdeen Angus stock at Macroom mart. He was very pleased with how the sale went.

"They sold better than we had expected. Because it was an online sale, we had buyers from as far away as Kilkenny, Offaly, Westmeath and Listowel. I think the online sale of the cattle really helped the sale and opened it up to the whole country."
