Steady week for lamb prices

THERE has been very little shift in the prices for lambs at the factories from early last week, with most quoting unchanged prices, at 347 cent/kg (124p/lb).

Trade in the marts opened the week on a slightly easier tone.

There was a slight improvement in the prices in the UK over the past week, even with stronger supplies on offer. Prices gained a few cent to the equivalent of 370 cent/kg (132p/lb), which was slightly more than the top of the trade in France, where the market has remained steady at around 365 cents/kg (130p/lb).
