Home trade pays best

THERE is a steadier tone to the lamb trade at the factories this week, as prices stabilise after the continuous fall of the past three weeks.

The prices range in factory quotes is showing little change from last week, as supplies remain relatively tight across the country.

The domestic trade has continued strong and is now underpinning the market, while the export trade has been easier in Britain and France over the past week, and prices have come under pressure in both markets.
