Kilkenny Mart – 24-03-2022 – Cattle Prices
According to George Candler, some 1,500 cattle crossed the sales at Kilkenny Mart on Thursday, March 24th, 2022.
The mart’s auctioneer reported that this was “one of the biggest sales in the last few years” at the mart.
He noted that the turnover was “marginally short” of €1.5 million. Candler explained that forward and beef-type heifers and bullocks met with an “excellent” trade, while plain, light cattle were “a bit more difficult to sell”.
