Coronavirus: Kenmare Mart to reopen for first sale in almost three months

“Our last sale was cattle on March 19th. We still provided a service where we bought cattle. We looked at the cattle and gave so much a kilo for them and they were brought in, weighed and valued and sold on to dealers,”Mr Doyle said.According to Mr McCarthy, prices held up reasonably well. “They wouldn’t have been supreme but people were able to sell away and the export trade has picked up a bit. A lot of the weanlings [newly weaned animals] we sold last week were for export.

Mr McCarthy explained that June is a quiet time of the year for cattle sales, particularly in Kenmare as it serves mainly weanling country in west Cork and south Kerry, and weanling sales do not really peak until July, August and September. “We’ve our homework done as best we can. We’ve the floor marked out for 2m distancing and we’ve a one-way system in place where fellows go around one way to look at the stock but they must still stay two metres apart.”

Farmers will be given a time that their animals will be sold and they can wait in their vehicle until their lot number is called. Mr McCarthy expects some local farmers to return home to do some work on their farms after dropping off their animals.
