Roscommon Co-operative Livestock Mart is a co-operative cattle and sheep trading venue in western Ireland. Farmers can use it to sell individual animals or groups, while buyers can source stock for further production or slaughter. The Irish Farmers Journal directory lists Friday cattle sales, Tuesday weanling sales and Wednesday sheep sales. Special events, booking arrangements and intake times should be confirmed directly with the mart administration for the intended date.

The Roscommon People edition dated 23 October 2026 includes a report on the cattle sale held on 16 October. Average bullock prices were EUR 4.35/kg and average dry-cow prices EUR 2.92/kg. These are category averages, rather than record individual prices or an average for every animal at the mart. The publication also covers other classes and sales. Preserve the session date and establish whether any selected figure represents an average, a maximum or an example transaction before using it in a budget.

The mart advertisement mentions online participation through MartEye. A prospective remote bidder should separately agree account activation, purchasing limits, payment and collection. Watching a sale does not itself confirm permission to buy. The Circular Road address and administration contact provide a starting point, but a carrier should obtain the correct entrance and unloading or collection time for the relevant stock class before travelling.

Before bidding, we recommend comparing weight, age, production type, consistency within the group and intended use. A weanling purchase needs to fit a further feeding plan, whereas a dry-cow purchase may involve a different commercial objective and valuation. A price per kilogram should not be compared across these categories without accounting for those differences. A useful purchasing list also sets a maximum overall expenditure including haulage and applicable charges, rather than only a maximum bid.

Sellers should establish the booking deadline, identification details, documents required and settlement arrangements. Buyers should confirm inspection opportunities, the weighing basis, charges and removal deadline. Requirements for a particular livestock movement should be checked for the origin and destination farm. A public newspaper report supplies market context but does not replace the current sale catalogue or assessment of an offered animal. The same distinction matters when comparing an attractive individual result with the broader average for a category.
