On Tuesday (May 18), Tullow Mart held its weekly sale of sheep, with trade fully maintained on the week before, according to the mart’s manager, Eric Driver.
A very lively trade was seen for spring lambs, ewes with lambs at foot and cull ewes, with the latter selling up to a high of €192/head.
Speaking about the trade on the day, the mart’s manager, Eric Driver told
Agriland: “We had another large sale of over 2,000 sheep here at Tullow on Tuesday, with the trade fully maintained on last week.
“Looking at the trade, spring lambs over 45kg sold from €170/head up to a tops of €182/head.
SHARING OPTIONS:
This aged Parthenaise bullock was born March 2013, weighed 920kg and sold for €2,040 (€2.22/kg).
Last Friday, the
Irish Farmers Journal was in Tullow Mart for its weekly general cattle sale, which was one of the last fully online sales before bidders returned ringside on Monday.
Speaking after the sale, Tullow manager Eric Driver said: “We had a good lively trade this week. It’s a final farewell to fully online bidding and that brings a bit of nerves.
“There is a good honest trade for beef at the moment and I can’t see trade get much better, but it could fall back.”

We have seen in some marts over the past week, that some categories of store cattle have received a slight push back in prices due to the poor grass growth easing their demand.
Although, speaking to
Agriland after Friday’s (May 7) sale at Tullow Mart, manager Eric Driver stated that he would be more positive about the store cattle trade this week than he would have been at last week’s sale – with a lower attendance of stock boosting competition for cattle.
He stated: “I think from looking at the prices paid at this week’s sale for the quality store bullock or heifer, that the trade was still holding firm for these class of cattle.
