After a record run of record-making trade for the lamb/hoggets, prices have eased at the factories this week, reportedly on the back of instructions from the factory bosses to their agents to 'cool down' the expectations of producers.

Some of the plants have contributed further doubt to the trade for this week by refraining from quoting forward for the coming days.
