With almost 1,100 cattle on offer there was another excellent selling trade at Kilkenny Mart last Thursday.

The fact that there were over 1,150 cattle on offer probably contributed to the quieter trade for both bullocks and heifers at Kilkenny Mart last Thursday.

With 950 animals on offer, the trade at Kilkenny Mart could be best described as steady last Thursday. once again the quality lots did quite well, but the plainer types were a little more difficult to sell. The culled cows and the heifers also provided a steady trade.

At the end of the day it is probably all about supply and demand and with only 800 cattle on offer at Kilkenny Mart last Thursday it was to be expected that there would be an increase in the prices obtained during the previous week.

Even though many of the meat factories have decided to drop their prices over the past couple of weeks, there was still a good solid trade for all types of cattle at Kilkenny Mart last Thursday.

I called into Martin Divilly's butcher's shop in Westside and picked out some treats from their quite amazing selection. They have practically every meat type available that you can think of, and of course much of their focus is on providing meat that is prepped and ready for the oven. I sampled some of the stir fries selection and can recommend the Hong Kong stir fry made with round steak, the Piri Piri stir fry made with pork, and the Mexican stir fry made with chicken. Perhaps the handiest way to cook them is to just pop it in the oven for 15/20 minutes and serve.

In spite of the fact that the factories have been attempting to hold prices over the past few weeks, cattle sold by between €15 and €20 a head up on the previous week at Kilkenny Mart last Thursday. The lively trade was also helped by the fact that number on offer were down from the previous cattle sale, and there was quite a good number of buyers in attendance. Also cattle seem to be not as plentiful now as a number of weeks ago.
