The fifth Irish Aberdeen Angus Autumn Extravaganza sale will take place on Saturday the 3rd October 2026 in Thurles mart.
Our premier sale will take place with a key focus on female stock. Similar to previous years this will be capped at a maximum of 50 lots with selection based solely on quality.
Please note all animals need to be registered with the Irish Aberdeen Angus Association from birth to enter. Also please note all animals need to be parent verified, so if your potential entries are not then please get them genotyped as soon as possible.
The 2026 catalogue and promotion will follow on from 2025, with a photographer to photograph each entry for promotional purposes. To allow us time to do this and have the catalogue ready well in advance of the event, please note entries close strictly on the 7th of August.
Please note any females sold as in calf have to be scanned stating the same in the previous 21 days before the event.
Animals will be vet inspected on the morning of the event and animals with visible defects, functionality issues, warts or ringworm will not be accepted for sale.
Any animal flushed previously and/or has embryos retained must be declared.
Each entry for the sale will be charged €20 regardless of if they pass inspection or not. An additional €80 will then be charged for those that pass inspection, making it a €100 entry fee. However, if animals pass inspection and are entered in the catalogue and do not attend, unless due to exceptional circumstances, an additional €100 will be added to your account.
Male entries, similar to previous years, will be selected from club calf qualifiers across the country.
Entry forms are available on the below link.
This year we will also take entries of embryos. These will be capped at four lots of three embryos each. Members with embryos for sale should contact Shane on 071-9632099.
All animals bid to €4,000 or more but unsold by the vendor will automatically be charged 5% of the unsold price. This is cover the advertising and promotion costs of the animal.
