Spring Sale Report 2014

Our Spring Sale took place in Roscommon Mart on Saturday April 5th

similar to a lot of Pedigree sales this spring. There was a less than 50% clearance on the day, but with

a noted increase in interest from Northern buyers, which has been the trend this Spring at a lot of

2014. It was a very tough trade.
