Kilkenny Mart, County Kilkenny
Cattle sale, Thursday 5 March 2026
- Bullocks €3.75/kg* mean of bands
- Heifers €3.85/kg mart average
A smaller sale of cattle today in Kilkenny with light store bullocks & heifers meeting a very lively trade but beef types be that friesian and overage animals are meeting a more subdued trade due mainly to the suggestions that quotes will drop by another 10 cents next week. A spell of fine settled weather is badly needed.
