In the heart of pastoral Ireland, Kanturk Co-operative Mart Ltd. is set to host an extraordinary event this 27th of January, a Saturday that will mark a significant transition for one local farmer and present a unique opportunity for many others. At precisely 12 noon in Ring 1, a complete clearance sale is slated to take place, featuring an array of 62 top-class cows and 14 in-calf heifers from the highly esteemed pure-bred herd of Mr. Johnny Sheehan of North Horsemount, Kilcorney.

This isn’t merely a sale; it’s the end of an era for Mr. Sheehan, who is pivoting his farming system, and a chance for fellow farmers to acquire genetically superior cattle. The herd, a product of meticulous breeding with top-class A.I. bulls over the years, comes with the highest recommendations. Each animal’s milk production has been diligently recorded, ensuring prospective buyers can make informed decisions based on proven productivity.
The cattle, which include specimens of Aberdeen Angus and Belgian Blue Bulls, are scheduled to calve from February 1st to the end of March, promising a swift addition to the herds of new owners. Moreover, the health and wellness of these animals have been a top priority, evidenced by their recent testing for Tuberculosis (TB) on December 20th, 2023, and comprehensive vaccinations covering Bovine Viral Diarrhoea (BVD), Leptospirosis, and Salmonella. Such rigorous health protocols underscore the value of the stock on offer.
In addition to their health and breeding records, all heifers are touted to be both cubicle and parlour trained, signifying ease of integration into new farming systems and routines. This factor alone could save new owners significant time and resources, making the purchase even more advantageous.
As the Kanturk Mart gears up for this event, the buzz within the farming community is palpable. The sale represents not just a transaction of livestock but also the transfer of years of dedicated breeding and care. It’s an opportunity for other farmers to build upon Mr. Sheehan’s legacy and enhance their own herds with cattle of exceptional lineage.
For those in the agricultural sector, this clearance sale is an event not to be missed. It encapsulates the dedication to quality, animal welfare, and the spirit of progression that are the hallmarks of Irish farming.
