Producers advised to reject lamb price cut
Suppliers are reporting that the general price being paid for lambs this week is 800 cents/kg and 810 cents/kg and in exceptional cases up to 820 cents/kg is being achieved by some of the regular suppliers of larger numbers. Picture: David Creedon
A cut of up to 20 cents/kg in the lamb prices at the factories this week is being played out against resistance from producers to acceptance of the reduction.
The word on the ground is that the factories need the intake at the current level and the advice of farming leaders to producers is for rejection of the price cut.
