Mart Charges

How much do the mart charge per a head? What way is the pricing structure, is it the seller gets charged or the buyer? I'm relatively new to farming and NEVER go to the mart only for checking the going price

Both have to pay commision at different rates I think. Works out about a tenner a head in Clare marts for a weanling.

I deal in two marts around here for buying and both charge 9 per head to buy. only sell in one and their commission is 1.25% of sale price on sheep, not sure of cattle could be the same

So with all marts they charge the buyer and the seller? Any one have most info on the cost for the seller?

Bought two small weanlings on Saturday. €9 a head.

When you say 9 per a head do you mean that is how much you were charged and then seller is charge something else or that €9 is the total the mart charged from the whole transaction?

Marts are making €25 average on every animal that sells through the ring. If you look in the ifj tomorrow you will get details on commissions of different marts featured in mart watch section near the back.

The auld lad brought a lorry load of weanlings to gort back 10 years ago maybe, he reckoned he had the price of one of them lost on commission beyond.
