Ennis Mart, County Clare
Sheep sale, Monday 31 August 2026
- Lambs €183/head* mart average
- Store lambs €144/head* mart average
Good entry of sheep today with 638 on offer. A lot of ram lambs available in the sale and quality was variable. Trade improved today as lambs were up 15c/kg on the week and there was more appetite for heavier lambs. Quite a number of lighter cull ewes on offer, as heavy fleshed ewes were still hitting €2/kg and over, but average price in this section was €1.82/kg. Sample prices included 3 ewes weighing 103kgs making €225, a ewe weighing 92kgs made €222, 10 ewes weighing 74kgs made €150. Very small amount of breeders today and hoggets made to €225.
