Trade a ‘shade easier all-round’ at Ennis

In excess of 900 cattle passed through the ring at Ennis Mart on Thursday, March 12th, according to a  spokesperson.

“Trade a shade easier all-round. The weather would seem to be the main issue now, as grass buyers are reluctant to buy due to the severe weather that we have currently.”

“However, trade was slightly stronger than this time 12 months despite all the current difficulties.”
