Kanturk Mart has developed a strong tradition of charity fundraising and this year was no different.

At its annual fatstock show and sale this week, it auctioned a Limousin bullock in aid of the Irish Heart Foundation and in memory of the late Lindsey Cott.

The 580kg bullock sold for €1,920 and the proceeds of this sale were added to the funds raised by a raffle, resulting in the mart donating a cheque for €13,820 the Irish Heart Foundation.
