Rural Life
Among the sounds of gates and livestock, the voice of veteran auctioneer, George Candler, has become synonymous with Kilkenny Mart.
Beef
There were a total of 730 cattle on offer at Kilkenny Mart on Thursday, with light bullocks and heifers meeting "an excellent trade"
Sheep
George Candler reported an excellent fast-selling trade at Kilkenny Mart on Monday (May 10) - which saw a fine trade for all sheep on offer.
Some 630 sheep passed through the ring of Kilkenny Mart, Cillin Hill, on Monday last, Brandon Hanlon writes.
If there's one thing that's certain is that farmers are operating with an air of caution around cattle marts throughout the country.
