Strong market demand and tight supplies of suitable lambs have forced factories into increasing prices this week.
Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) Sheep Chairman Sean Dennehy said the factories are actively seeking lambs to meet the increased demand for the Eid festival - which starts on July 20 - and subsequently increased prices offered over the weekend.
