Overweight lamb too costly

Like it or not, lamb producers have no control over the price per kilo they are paid for their finished product on any given day of the year.

However, when it comes to delivering the ideal lamb carcass in terms of weight and fat cover, the ball is firmly in the producer’s court.

Getting your drafting right is central to maximising the value of your lamb output, particularly now, after lamb prices slipped so dramatically in recent weeks.
