The Irish Angus Munster Branch hosted its premier and first 2021 sale in Kilmallock Mart last Saturday, with average price and clearance rate on par with the 2019 sale.
While the clearance rate was on par, it must be noted that the number of bulls presented for sale was back substantially, so the number that traded hands on the day was back by 10 on 2019 levels.
