Kilkenny Co-operative Livestock Mart operates at Cillín Hill on Dublin Road. It is a co-operative livestock marketplace serving south-east Ireland, combining ring-side bidding with participation through the Martbids application. Its range includes beef and dairy cattle, cull cows, calves, weanlings and sheep. Separate sale categories have their own schedules and reporting sections. For a farm sourcing animals for further rearing, matching the session to the required stock is more useful than relying on the market’s general name alone.
Local press reported approximately 1,310 cattle offered at the general sale on 1 October 2026, with a 99% clearance rate. These measures describe one session, not annual activity. The source for these two figures is therefore the article published on 3 October, explicitly identified in the spreadsheet. A strong clearance rate does not guarantee that a future vendor will obtain a particular price or sell every consignment.
Buyers should review the current calendar, catalogue and account-approval arrangements for online participation. Video can help assess an animal but does not replace documentation, inspection or information about origin and health. A bidding limit should reflect weight, age, production type, consistency within a group and transport to the destination farm. Dairy purchases require a different information set from cattle intended for finishing. State the intended use when contacting the office so that the enquiry can be directed to the appropriate sale and staff.
Vendors can use the entry forms and the market’s published information on commission and subject sales. Before delivery, agree the number of animals, appropriate ring, intake time and document handover. Clarify when an offer becomes an accepted transaction and when settlement will occur. Comparisons with other marts should use net proceeds after deductions and transport rather than a headline sale price. A dependable schedule for the relevant class may be commercially more valuable to a farm than an exceptional result achieved by a different type of animal.
The spreadsheet links to the public cattle-report section. The homepage also links to separate sheep, calf and dairy reports, so the complete price range is not contained in one document. When transcribing results, retain the animal class, weight and unit, especially the distinction between EUR per head and EUR per kilogram. A report describes completed trade, whereas a current catalogue describes stock still being offered. The profile includes the office contact and postal code to support enquiries about participation and access to the Cillín Hill site.
