Quality certainly shone at Ennis mart on Tuesday. The mart held a weanling show and sale where a Belgian Blue weanling heifer that shone like the Ardagh Chalice sauntered into the ring, weighing a respectable 380kg. Not the largest animal on the day, but certainly the most fancied. When the auctioneer's hammer came down the sum being offered had reached €3,580, or €9.43/kg for the more mathematically inclined. Super money for a quality animal.
Some of the prize winners on Tuesday included a Charolais bull weighing 460kg which sold for €2,000.
