Irish Farmers Journal breakfast news: US beef breeding and cross-border shopping
Good morning. In the news today: there's no value to be had shopping across the border and the final pedigree sale of the year took place over the weekend.
Monday will start cloudy for many, and wet too, across western parts, as outbreaks of rain track eastwards across the country, becoming lighter and patchier. A clearance will develop in the west, with crisp sunshine there from afternoon. Highest temperatures will range from 8°C to 11°C in light breezes.
