    Hi,
    Is there a way of seeing last weeks marts prices anywhere online from Cork Marts?

    on livestock.ie you cant see specific prices per lot, but it does show by breed, eg AA even AAx. It goes back the last 2-3 weeks and gives the average €/kg price per week with a percentage up or down

    Watched Ennis mart online this morning for about an hour. A good 40 to 50% went to online bidders.
    I’d say the “games” around the ring have seen better days...

    Hopefully, they'll get a good dose
    On what platform did you see the bidding etc

    I just googled Ennis mart live and found my way in that way.
    Had to register and so forth. Good system. Covid has changed how many things work. Not just for now but forever. Marts no different.

    I presume most marts will use live and online bidding from now on or will most of them go back to the old days do ye think?

    Yea I think they will keep them. It would be great if they could show the stock in advance so you’d know if they had what you were looking for

    Yes I would expect it to stay and working in conjunction with the "normal" mart. You are correct it would be good if they could run a short video of the cattle coming out of the chute after they are numbered. Carnaross Mart put video's of the cattle in the pens up on their Facebook page which is a bit of a help especially for the suck calves.

    id Say if lads get caught out buying bad stock it might put them off the online buying. Buying by weight is grand but often the value is in buying the lighter lad with potential. He might not be as obvious through the screen.

    You are right in what you are saying, would you buy a tractor without see it in person? I wouldn’t, I reckon marts are going to have to be careful,most young people back our way don’t sell in Mart’s, and with the way things are at the moment if you were interested in buying you would be better off buying private, Mart’s could lose a lot of business
