Lamb prices steady after drop

Lamb prices at the factories were steadier yesterday after regaining the drop of the previous day, but the demand remained light.

Kepak’s factories at Hacketstown and Athleague were among the few processors slaughtering yesterday.

They were quoting up to 370 cents/kg as base prices at the Hacketstown plant, unchanged from the same day last week. The base at Kepak in Athleague was 358 cents/kg marking a recovery of 5 cents/kg on Thursday’s price, but still 6 cents/kg lower than the same day last week.
