Lamb prices slump 10-20c/kg as festivities end

The bank holiday on Monday disrupted the usual pattern of the live sales at the marts this week. However, the mart trade was firm up to the weekend.

Lamb prices continue in decline at the factories this week, where there has been an across-the-board drop in returns for producers.

Both the hoggets and spring lambs prices are back by 10-20c/kg on last week in the quoted prices as operations resumed at the plants on Tuesday following the holiday weekend.
