Beef Shorthorn Spring Sale Report

Our Spring Sale took place in Roscommon Mart on Saturday April 5th 2014. It was a very tough trade 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 pedigree sales.

The Champion Male Clashagad Maddison was bred by Phil & Pat Sheedy, Roscrea, he was sold for €2000 to a Northern Ireland buyer. Maddison is an Uppermill Maddison son out of a Buffalo Lake Blockbuster cow. The Reserve Champion bull was Lismacool Jobe bred by Padraig Flanagan, Elphin. Jobe is a Creaga Dice son out of a Cabragh Stephen cow. He remained unsold on the day.
