With the uncertainty of being able to conduct Livestock, Sheep & Equine Sales of Breeding Stock, we are endeavouring to find a successful solution for both buyers and sellers. We will be offering Online “Live Virtual Auction” and On-Line ‘Timed Auction’ services to breeders for all types of livestock, Sheep & Equine.
We have been using Live Online Bidding for all our Livestock Sales since 2013 and our online bidding platform and/or pre-bidding platform will now be available for all our auctions.
We have solutions available for individual Breeders with one animal to sell or Multiple animals to sell, Production Sales / Reduction Sales. We also have solutions for Breed, Sheep and Equine Associations.
Our Online Auction System has been utilized in live Auctions to sell animals to Mainland Europe and even early this year in conjunction with Irish Limousin Society at the March premier Sale where we sold a number of animals online, but more importantly / significantly raised the prices of a large number of other animals, to attain current Market values.
Our secure online bidding and the pre-bidding platform allow you to bid online at all our auctions. Registration is easy and we are here to assist you with the process. We have finalized a Brief Explanatory Guide to Online Virtual & Timed auctions, (follow the link for more information) for buyers and sellers explaining the procedure of how this new system of marketing livestock will operate.
Our Annual Spring Premier show and sale was held on Sunday and
Monday the 15th and 16th March in Roscrea mart.
As we are living in the most unprecedented times the show and sale was held
under strict governmental guidelines. A limit of 100 people was put in place in
both the show and sale rings. To ensure anyone that wished to see the bulls we
had Patricia Kennedy in action recording the show section on Sunday evening, we
then had Denis Barrett Auctions on hand with a live feed and online bidding
facility on Monday. We are very appreciative of breeders and customers alike
for their understanding and support of the necessary measures that were taken
to ensure best practice to protect everyone.
The show was judged by Mr. Martin Conway of the noted Craigatoke
herd based in Plumbridge, Co. Tyrone. The Craigatoke herd has enjoyed much
success in the show and sales rings of Northern Ireland and the UK, Craigatoke

Winter is coming—the three words that can be
a headache for any landowner, now throw some trees (or even a forest) into the
mix and you’ve got a lot more on your plate. Land clearing is a task
that not every landowner has to deal with, but when you do there are some
important factors to take into consideration.
Whether you’re looking to clear land for
farming purposes, to start a construction project, or you simply need to do a
little upkeep there are some serious advantages to having it done in the
winter.
Before we explore these benefits, let’s make
sure we’re all on the same page about what land clearing is exactly.
Land Clearing Explained
It’s simple; land clearing is the process of
removing trees, shrubs, stumps and other obstacles in order to prep an area for
land improvement or construction projects.
This process can be costly, which is why you
want to invest your time and money into an expert. Do your research when looking
for certified land clearing services and the whole thing will run much more
smoothly.
While every property has its own unique set
of challenges and requirements you’ll be doing yourself a big favor by
enlisting the help of a professional.
Why Should You Clear Land in the Winter?
Solid ground is easier to work with. When the
temperature is low the land can support heavy equipment better, especially if
your land is in an area that is typically muddy.
You have more time to prep your landscaping.
Overall, land clearing can be a long process so the sooner you start the more
time you’ll have to get your landscape ready for warmer weather.
Ideal weather conditions. Even if you’re not
a fan of the cold precipitation and runoff are typically lower during the
winter which means your soil won’t suffer as much disturbance as other times.
Plants are dormant so the aggressive process
of removing brush, shrubs, and other vegetation won’t do as much damage to the
land and soil.
Bonus points if there’s snow! While you may
think that a few inches of snow on the ground could make it more challenging to
get the job done it’s actually considered an added layer of protection for
preserving your soil!
Once you decide to take the plunge and seek
out professional land clearing services the process will run pretty quickly.
Starting with a survey of your land compared against blue prints for any
construction projects followed by the removal of any large rocks or brush and
then grading the property.
Clearing land is an intensive process that
requires specialized equipment, knowledge, and extensive planning. We hope that
you’re able to use these tips to get your land in the best shape possible!
