Little change in the week’s opening lamb and hogget prices

Sheepmeat market report

Last Monday's sheep sale at Kenmare Co-Op Mart, Co Kerry.

Fears of further lamb price reductions at factories didn’t materialise when processors re-opened for business this week.

It has been an exceptional year to date for sheep farmers, of all-time record high prices, but a sharp price cut took as much as 40c/kg off the top prices last week.
