Corrin (Fermoy) Livestock Mart Weekly Sales

What to Expect

Corrin Mart in Fermoy is operated by Cork Co-operative Marts and is the main livestock outlet for the Fermoy and North Cork farming area, sitting just off the N8 Cork-Dublin road. It runs two distinct weekly sales rather than one: every Monday at 11am there is a dedicated Sheep Sale, which includes a specific section for breeding sheep alongside factory and store lots, and every Tuesday there is a Cattle Sale from 10:30am followed directly by a Calf Sale at 11:30am. On top of the regular weekly rhythm, the mart also runs special seasonal sales through the year, including dairy clearance sales when herds are being wound down or restructured.

Buyers who cannot attend in person can follow and bid through the Cork Co-operative Marts online bidding platform, which has become a standard way of accessing North Cork sales without travelling to the yard. As with most working marts, the emphasis is firmly on trade rather than spectacle, and the mart is of most practical use to farmers, hauliers, and buyers with a direct stake in the sale.

Fermoy’s position on the N8 makes Corrin Mart a natural meeting point for farmers coming from both the Blackwater Valley and further into North Cork, and the two-sale weekly structure - sheep on Monday, cattle and calves on Tuesday - reflects the mixed nature of farming in the area rather than a single dominant enterprise type.
