No change in the market is good news for sheep farm

LAMB prices have been maintained at last week’s level. The factories opened for the week quoting a base price of 350 cents/kg (125p/lb) unchanged from the going rate through last week.

Prices continued at the same level Tuesday, with the usual bonus payments of up to 6 cents/kg for superior quality.

The pattern was broadly similar at the marts, where prices were maintained and in some cases a little stronger for the quality lots this week.
