CORRIN MART REPORT

We had very busy week in Corrin this week, which is to be expected at this time of year. There was a large entry of cattle on our Tuesday sale and trade was very strong.

We expect very large sales over the next few weeks and trade should be very lively indeed considering the amount of enquiries that we have had looking for cattle over the last few days.
