Weather forecast
Met Éireann is forecasting a dry start in many areas, however rain along Atlantic coastal counties will spread eastwards to most areas by early afternoon. Through the late afternoon and evening drier and brighter conditions will gradually follow from the west.
Highest temperatures of 12°C to 14°C are forecast, with moderate to fresh and gusty southwest winds.
The only opportunity to view stock at Balla Mart on Saturday was from the skywalks as farmers were excluded from the cattle lairage. The sale saw a very lively trade for all good-quality stock.
The Irish Cattle Breeding Federation has released its new replacement index, with salers leading the way.
Air temperatures were recorded at over 20°C and long days of sunshine have driven grass growth to exceptional highs very quickly on the Greenfield Farm in Kilkenny.
