Positive news — lamb prices didn’t fall

POSITIVE news on the lamb trade — prices didn’t fall, having changed very little early this week, and any movement was marginally upwards, but not enough to make much difference to the returns to sheep farmers.

Base prices quoted by the processors on Monday ranged from 340 to 342 cents/kg, with a marginal upper limit lift to 345 cents for Tuesday’s kill.

Slightly more positive vibes came from the mart sales, where demand was livelier and prices slightly stronger on Monday.
