Sheep farmers doing deals for spring lambs at close to €8/kg

Sheepmeat market report

Hogget supplies are becoming scarcer as the weeks go by.

Many processors are not showing their hand with quotes for lambs this week, but they are still anxious to get supplies through their gates.

Many were not quoting their prices forward for the week when markets opened on Monday, but were far from turning away any lambs, and were willing to pay last week’s rates.
