IFA advises farmers to sell their livestock at their local mart.
The advantages of the local mart include:
- Guaranteed payment
- Instant market prices
- Ability to choose to sell or hold
- Full transparency on AIMS
- Finished cattle sales
- Option to see under fit and over fit cattle to avoid slaughter penalties
