Aurivo will temporarily suspend all its livestock sales from Monday 23 March until at least the end of the month.
In a statement, the co-op said the decision had been made in light of COVID-19 and will be reviewed in the intervening period.
Pre-booked sales at marts in Ballymote on Thursday, Balla on Saturday and Mohill on Saturday will proceed under strict protocols:
ADVERTISEMENT
Only customers that have business to conduct should attend the marts.
Strictly no children allowed.
Buyers must observe the recommended protocols around social distancing and there will be restrictions around the number of sellers allowed to attend the ring.
Sellers who do not want to attend to sell can request the mart to do so on their behalf.
All mart canteen facilities will be closed with immediate effect.
Anyone who has been out of the country recently or been in contact with people exhibiting any symptoms is asked not to attend.
Health and safety
Aurivo said its priority was the health and safety of its employees, members, customers, suppliers and the communities in which it operates. The western co-op acknowledged the support of its customers and staff and apologised for the inconvenience.
