10c/kg boost to lamb quotes
Suppliers are reporting that 650-660c/kg is being paid for good lambs this week at the factories, while the live trade at the marts is also reported to be very strong.
The scarcity of well-finished lambs continues to be an issue across the country, which has been worsened by the downpour of rain during October, and its impact on ground conditions on farms.
One of the processors has increased its quote for the lambs for this week by 10c/kg to offer 640c/kg with the quoted prices generally ranging from 600-630c/kg, plus the quality bonus of 10-20c/kg as applicable.
