Beef
Marts in key suckler-bred weanling producing regions of Ireland have seen over half the weanling bulls being purchased for overseas markets
Balla Livestock Mart in Co. Mayo hosted a special evening sale of weanlings on Tuesday (August 15), which reportedly saw a "good trade".
In light of low beef prices and general market uncertainty in the beef industry, many suckler farmers may consider holding on to weanlings.
Farmers could be faced with a very difficult end to 2016 if cattle prices do not improve, according Mohill Mart's Steven Hannon.
