Sheep
The buzz and excitement in the sheep industry for the last 12-18 months, but particularly since the turn of the year has been long overdue.
Quality and numbers seem to be on the decline across most marts for breeding sheep, as the breeding period edges closer.
There doesn't appear to be any let up in breeding sales, with mart managers reporting a solid trade for all types of breeding sheep.
There continues to be a good appetite for ewe lambs and hoggets in particular, with two, three and four-year-old ewes also trading well.
Mart managers reported a strong trade once again for breeding sheep, with ewe hoggets, in particular, catching the eye.
Mule ewe lambs made over €170/head at Tullow Mart's special breeding sale on Saturday, while hogget ewes traded from €135-190/head.
