The Irish Limousin Cattle Society held an official show and sale on Saturday 21st November in Ballyjamesduff Livestock Mart. The entry of 40 bulls met a sluggish trade on the day with a small number of customers, due mainly to the atrocious weather conditions.
Top price of €2500 went to the Ronick Hawk son Hill Top Dan owned by Thomas Murphy, Mullagh, Co Clare and purchased by Laurance Dorian, Co Louth.
