Well the last sale for 2024 was held in Roscommon mart on October 5th . With most flocks sold out over the last few weeks we were delighted with todays clearance of over 70% with a top price of €1020gns for a SIS eligible lamb and €700gns for a non SIS eligible. The club would like to take this opportunity to thank the management & staff at Roscommon Mart & Athenry Mart for there continued support. Tom Cox the auctioneer thank you. A big thank you to all our sponsors who has supported us over the years. 2024 has been another very successful year for the West of Ireland Suffolks with once again an increase in clearance figures and prices for both Males & Females. With the assistance of online bidding with LSL & MartEye our bidders ranged from Monaghan, Cavan, Wicklow Letterkenny & Carndonagh in Donegal and of course our own catchment area Connacht ,Westmeath and Clare. With all sheep at our sales being offered for sale in their naturally state, this has attracted repeat customers from both pedigree and commercial farmers to our sales .This is the endorsement that proves there is a high demand for this type of product our members are producing .
