The quality of the animals that were on offer was simply outstanding from one end of the sale to the other.

The mart would like to thank all the sellers, all of the many buyers, judge Sam Carmichael, and auctioneer Ciaran Laverty, all who made the sale such a success.

The mart would also like to thank all those who donated to the annual Christmas Hospice collections in both marts, a sum of over £3,000 was presented to the Hospice.
