With just a few weeks remaining before attention turns from bullocks to turkeys, the trade for cattle at the mart remains strong. You still have time to get up a few lads before Christmas, but don’t expect any bargains.

Close to 700 stock were on offer at Kilmallock on Monday last. This included 200 dry cows, with 40 buyers purchasing dry cows. Demand at the mart was keen from the ringside and also from our friends online.
