Sheep
Blessington Mart in Co. Wicklow held its weekly sheep sale on Tuesday (August 18), with an impressive 4,120 sheep on offer.
Store lamb prices have eased by €2-3/head in some locations, with large entries reported. However, in the east of the country, store lambs were in very short supply.
Strong trade was reported across the country's marts this week, with factory agents, farmers and butchers all competing for lambs.
