Factories slash hogget prices by up to 35c/kg for second week

Suppliers are reporting some deals at 10-15c above the quoted prices, particularly at the factories, where supply is tight

The live trade for the hoggets at the marts is also reporting a quieter scene as they are being replaced by spring lambs.

The clouds hanging over the trade for hoggets are continuing to darken this week, with the factories cutting another hefty slice off the prices on offer.

The skies are brighter over the lamb trade as the changeover in supply gains momentum and prices are holding firm, with good interest reported from the processing plants.
