Biggest sheep marts in Northern Ireland

[Razor8]

Hi all

I’ve rented some land in Fermanagh for my sins.

What are the biggest sheep marts in the north in terms of numbers. Have already been to Enniskillan & Omagh

Clogher mart... Thursday evening... good and fair sale

Why do you need the biggest marts??
Some of the smaller ones return better prices. Nearest or best are more useful.

Selection & curiosity

Looking at buying stores at the moment and probably buy horned ewes later to run with blue Leicester

Stores to expensive at min.. making £73 And fat lamb's making £80...

I know well that’s why I ended up with a empty trailer. Whole thing gone mad. Same down the south

There no sense to it at all..

Very frustrating time. Base €4.50 with us for next week

Plumbridge and gortin will be good store sales, just a bit early yet and can be expensive. Ballymena and Armoy have plenty of big sales the next 2 months but maybe a bit far for you

Castlewellan Blackface Sheepbreeders hold their annual ewe sale in mid September at Hilltown mart, plenty of decent ewes at it.

£80 for 23.5kg today think I'll be better clearing out in the store ring
