ILLUSTRATING a significant increase in both the turnover and the average, last week’s renewal at Cavan was among the best in recent years. Crowned by a top return of €13,200 and driven largely by the national scarcity of suitable stock, prices were strong throughout.

Buyers clustered around the ringside and, keen to get involved, they contributed to a much-improved average of €3,714 (€2,796 in 2018).
