TOP OF €15,500 AT CASTLEMARTIN (Source www.charolais.ie)

Outstanding was the consensus of opinion regarding the trade at the Castlemartin Charolais sale in Tullamore, on Saturday last (6th June).

A packed ringside and brisk bidding resulted in a total clearance of all lots on offer and an overall sale average of just under €4,000 for 54 females and a top price of €15,500 for their stock bull “Clonoulty Andraemon”.
