Sheep prices up 20c/kg - but come with a 'health warning'
The stronger prices have come with a health warning that they are not guaranteed to run to the weekend, writes Martin Ryan.
Religious celebrations have a special place among sheep farmers because they usually deliver a boost in the prices, but this week's surge in the trade at the factories has come with a warning for caution.
Both spring lamb and hogget prices have leapt as the factories struggle to get sufficient intake to meet demand ahead of the ending of the Ramadam festivities this weekend.
