Lot 43, Ernehill Samson, from Frances and Noel Fitzpatrick, sold for the top price of the sale at €8,600.
The Irish Angus Cattle Society held its annual elite sale in Carrick on Shannon yesterday.
Autumn pedigree sales have seen really solid trade for top-quality animals and Saturday’s sale was no exception.
The sale attracted a large entry of 63 bulls and 33 heifers, with all animals weighed on entry. With no pre-show sale, the Irish Angus Cattle society streamed the pre-sale parade online on the morning of the sale for prospective purchasers.
The sale was run under strict COVID-19 guidelines, with a limited number of people allowed ringside and the rest online bidding.
