Market for lambs affected by temporary Kildare Chilling closure

Sheep market news

Reports from around the country indicate processors agreeing deals for up to 510 cents/kg.

There is more uncertainty in the lamb trade at factories this week, with prices under pressure again in an unstable market.

The temporary closure of Kildare Chilling, because of Covid-19 cases among the workforce, comes at a bad time of the year for sheep farmers, and is certainly having some impact on overall trading conditions for this week.
