SHARING OPTIONS: Jamie and Lorraine Kealy s herd is a spring-calving system with an emphasis on high fertility underpinning high EBI figures. / Philip Doyle Tullow Mart in Co Carlow held their first dedicated dairy sale on Wednesday last.

The heifers sold in an excellent trade, with the group achieving an average sale price of €1,060 per head. There was a tight range in price with 29 out of the 30 selling from €1,000 to €1,100 and the remaining heifer sold for €1,120. ....
