50-100c cuts for low carcase weight lambs
There was 500 head on offer at Kilkenny Mart, where butcher's lambs sold for up to €94 over.
The trade for lambs at the factories has continued steady this week overall, raising some optimism that a seasonal bottoming out on the decline in producer returns may have been reached.
There is a degree of variation of up to 20 cents/kg between the factories' quotes, with some having moved by up to 10 cents/kg over the past week, while others are at unchanged prices.
