Cooling-off after historic high lamb prices

Sheepmeat market report

Last week's sheep sale at Kenmare Mart in Co Kerry.

There is a slight easing in the lamb trade at factories for this week, a cooling-off after a history-making run of high prices for several weeks.

Many processors are not quoting forward for lambs this week, indicating caution around their requirements for the week and, more significantly, the price going forward.
