    I think Carrick-on-Shannon has an Angus sale.

    Castlerea would be as good a place as any

    I'd say any west of Ireland mart would have a certain number of the type of cattle you want any week. Plenty of suckler farmers running AA bulls. Of course it may take a few mart visits if you want a large number of quality stock.

    I think Carrick only holds pedigree sales.......

    Castlerea always had lots of AAx type stock any time I was there but they would be a mixture of sucker and dairy bred types. Ballymote used to have special AAx sales for weanlings and stores but I don't know what numbers of stock would be on offer as it isn't really a thriving mart apart from certain times​ of the year.
