If cattle prices are any indication, then it can be said that the so-called recession had not reached Kilkenny Mart last Thursday.

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.
