The High Court judge would give most mart managers a good run for their money on cattle price knowledge.

The Dealer was surprised to hear cattle prices being discussed by a High Court judge and a witness under oath this week.
The witness in question was farmer Tom Morrin, who was faced with selling his cattle, while Justice Tony O’Connor was trying to find out if he thought he’d get a good price for them in Blessington Mart.
Usually it’s legal jargon that bamboozles farmers, but it was clear that the other legal eagles in the room were the ones perplexed as the chat moved on to movement forms and land rental. In closing, the judge said he “professes no expertise in cattle management”, but The Dealer reckons the judge’s Mayo roots shone through in the court room.
