So far, the Carrick-on-Shannon Winter Fair has been a great weekend and as the weather cools down this Monday evening, the trade is only beginning to heat up.
Large crowds have gathered over the past few hours in anticipation of securing top-quality calves for breeding and showing ahead of next year.
So far, the top price has been by Enda Foy's Limousin-cross heifer calf that sold for €7,800.
There are plenty of high prices expected later this evening, so don't forget to check out our socials for updates.
