Processors resist lamb price increases despite tightening supply
Live mart sales strong as factory demand for hoggets continues.
The lamb/hogget prices are largely unchanged at the factories this week, while demand remains firm.
The lamb/hoggets are being quoted at 880-885c/kg, with the bonus for quality assurance to be added at 10-20c/kg, which means little if any change from last week's prices. Suppliers are reporting that the processors remain anxious to get supplies but are not willing to pay more.
