Mercury Terrific Eric, which sold for the top price of €2,400.
The phenomenal trade witnessed on farms in the southern part of the country played its part in the last of the spring 2021 Irish Angus Munster branch sales.
With most branch members reporting extremely strong business from early March, it seemed the potential buyers looking for a bull were scarce on the ground last Saturday.
In total, 16 of the 25 bulls entered for the sale were in attendance, with just nine finding new homes.
Tough job hitting €2,000
With numbers selling low, it meant that auctioneer Tom Cox had a tough job on his hands to get bids to rise to and past the €2,000 mark.

The Irish Angus Munster branch hosted its second spring sale in Kilmallock on Saturday, with both top prices coming from the Killernan herd of Martin Hehir, Miltown Malbay, Co Clare.
The top price was €3,200, with the first bull, Killernan Simply Good, hitting the mark.
This November 2019-born son of HW Farghal is out of a Nightingale Paso-bred dam, with Bor Nugget also in the back breeding.
Simply Good boasted five stars on the terminal index, with a beef cow calving figure of 2.7%.
