Almost 1,100 entries, including 300 cull cows, went under the hammer at Ennis Mart’s annual show and sale on Thursday, February 13th.
“There was a 98% clearance all-round. Trade could only be described as very good.”
“Not a huge amount of beef in the bullock and heifer ring but 80% of them were short-keep cattle.”
“Some great beef cull cows and these were a massive trade. Some very fancy prices for BBX heifers for feeding.” the spokesperson added.
