    I'd say that would be about the tops. However butchers and wholesalers must be starved as factories are bulk buying in most Marts.

    The indo was reporting the market abit volatile and the factories attempting to pull the prices back to nothing, but then having to pay proper money when the supplies weren't coming. It's up to everyone to decide what to do. i've a good few ewe hoggets that will be ready over the next few weeks. If they sell, they sell, if not they'll go as breeders in the summer.

    Nothing specific but the word is that the Easter trade has firmed up prices again.

    Yes, but afaik at the end of ramadan, they have the big feast. A few year ago I used to sell to an ethnic buyer and the end of the festival was when every single family wanted a full lamb for the table. It was the peak demand. But look, I'm tired from lambing, the mind is gone to mush, and could be mistaken, but dont think I am.

    Yes but before they fast they eat a lot of lamb so sales are good up to then

    When I was supplying a ramadan buyer , they wanted 16-19kg carcass or 35- 42kg liveweight and nothing over that weight. So maybe that's why their looking for springs. Having said that they'll take hoggets just as quick, within the same specification. At the same time theres always other customers and butchers looking for the heavier hoggets.
