In conjunction with their weekly Monday sale of suckler cows and weanlings, Tullamore Mart played host to a special dispersal sale entry on May 10.
Agriland made the trip down to the Offaly-based Mart this week to watch the demand for some quality suckler pairings as they passed through the ring.
Topping the sale at €2,400 was an eye-catching pair consisting of a young 2016-born Charolais cow with a nice quality Limousin bull calf-at-foot. She was deemed a pre-sale favourite by viewers on Monday evening.
Limousin cow and calf topped the sell out at a price of €2,400
The prices ranged from €2,400/pair back to €1,320/pair – with the cows being born from 2018 back to 2012. A good proportion of the cows were also scanned back in-calf to a Charolais stock bull.
