Factory lamb price cut 10-15 cent/kg

WEAKER overall demand has been reflected in a drop in prices for lambs at factories this week.

The quoted prices have been cut by 10-15 cents/kg (4p-6p/lb), with the base dropping to 420 cents/kg (150p/lb) plus the usual bonus for quality at most of the plants this week.

The exception to the general run is the Co Kildare-based Moyvalley Meats, where they are quoting an all-in price of 425 cents/kg (152p/lb).
