Prospective purchasers need to have a Martbids account and be approved by Raphoe Mart before they can bid on animals.
Smyths Daleside Animal Feeds will provide 20 bags of beef weanling meal to the purchaser of the highest price bull, while the Irish Charolais Cattle Society and the Irish Limousin Cattle Society will both contribute €200 to the two highest priced bulls in each breed. All bulls are export tested and suitable for export to Northern Ireland.
The Irish Farmers Journal understands that a number of breed societies have written to the Department of Agriculture requesting changes in mart protocols for pedigree sales.
