Sheep sale, Monday 19 January 2026
A small sheep sale today in Kilkenny with only 400 on offer. There were no store sheep on offer with the sale comprising of heavy hoggets/lambs in excess of 50 kilo. The very wet morning and the slugish trade that exists at the moment did not encourage sellers to venture out
