Records were broken at the All-Star Texel in-lamb ewe sale on Saturday last at Blessington Mart, which saw a top price of €5,200 paid out for a twin-bearing ewe and an overall sale clearance rate of 90%.
Lot 61, bred by Anthony Donnelly, was bought by Brian Connelly, from Tuam in Co. Galway, for the record-smashing price – of €5,200.
