Kilkenny bull sales hosted its second sale of the year on Wednesday, with trade for Angus at an all-time high.
Similar to many sales across the country, numbers present at the sale were well back on whose catalogued due to vibrant on-farm sales being witnessed for the last six weeks.
In total, 26 of the 53 bulls catalogued were presented for sale, with all but one finding a new home.
This healthy clearance rate was accompanied with an impressive average price of €3,038.
While prices did hit as high as €3,900, it wasn’t the high prices that drove the average up but the fact that over half of the bulls sold make in excess of €3,000.
